Poland vs Austria Prediction & Picks - Euro
by Dan Angell | in Euro Picks
Austria and Poland look to make up for their opening match losses by getting a badly-needed win in their second match in Group D. The Austrians were probably a little unlucky not to get the job done against France, as they matched Les Bleus in shots on target and won the possession battle. But they couldn't find the mesh despite a few good looks, leaving them on the wrong end of a 1-0 scoreline.
They should be able to make up for it against Poland, given the Poles' issues at the back line. Poland has failed to win a match at three of their past four Euros, and this might make it four out of five. The Poles have really wasted the international career of Robert Lewandowski, who has never really had the talent around him that he plays with at the club level. In turn, that's allowed teams to focus on him and make someone else beat them. More often than not, that hasn't worked out.

Poland against Austria : Head to Head (H2H)
Sep 9, 2019 - Euro
Poland - Austria: Form Analysis
Austria came into the tournament unbeaten in seven matches, a streak that ended with Das Team's 1-0 loss to France. That also marked the first time the Austrians had failed to score since Sept. 22, 2022, which also came against France.
Poland also saw its unbeaten streak end, a number that had reached eight matches. However, defense had been a problem for the Poles in those matches; six of their past eight matches have seen both teams find the net.
defense had been a problem for the Poles
The only clean sheets, the Poles have kept came against a weak Latvia side and a defensive-minded Wales that was trying to force the match to penalties to decide who would qualify for the Euros. Otherwise, Poland has had real problems preventing breaches.

Poland & Austria Squad Analysis
Counting on Robert Lewandowski to score might be a fool's errand in this game. He has not scored in any of his matches in a Polish shirt in 2024, going five straight matches without a goal. He's also struggled historically with Poland, which is one reason why the Poles have had problems getting out of the group stage.

Our Poland vs Austria Prediction
Austria's performance against France suggests that it's in for a better showing this time around. The Austrians also know that this match could end their tournament if they don't collect all three points. There's little chance of Austria sharing the points with Poland and then beating the Netherlands to pass through as one of the third-place teams. Most likely, the Austrian path to the round of 16 is by winning this match and then holding the Oranje in a stalemate.
The Austrians also know that this match could end their tournament
Poland gave up chance after chance to the Dutch, and it was only a matter of time before they gave up the equalizer and game-winning goal that eventually doomed their efforts. The early goal was never going to stand up in the face of the Dutch onslaught, and it was only because the Netherlands put so many shots wide of the frame that the scoreline didn't end up worse than it was. Our prediction for Poland vs. Austria: Austria to win.
Poland vs Austria - Other Interesting Picks
Christoph Baumgartner Anytime Goal Scorer
Christoph Baumgartner missed a beautiful chance against France, and he's not likely to miss that kind of opportunity again. Austria usually relies on the RB Leipzig man as its main goalscorer, as he has scored in five of Austria's past six matches and should have made it six last time out. He's also very used to playing in Germany, as he plies his trade in the German Bundesliga. He's a strong bet to find the mesh in this match.
