England were losing finalists at the 2020 European Championship after reaching the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and they will hope to go one better in 2022, with Gareth Southgate potentially adopting a more attacking approach to forthcoming matches after being criticised for a lack of adventure when it came to last summer’s tournament.
This represents a tricky assignment for the Three Lions when they head to Warsaw for this encounter, although Jack Grealish and Jadon Sancho are in line to occupy the dangerous wide positions, while Harry Kane has at least resolved his short-term future at White Hart Lane and will now look to continue his track record.
Poland also made an appearance at Euro 2020 although it was a typically disappointing performance at a major tournament for a side who lack the quality in the majority of positions, while the team only adopted an attack-minded approach when it was too late.
While Robert Lewandowski could pose problems for that settled back four that includes Harry Maguire and John Stones, we think that England should have too much quality for their opponents on this occasion.
BETTING VERDICT
England to win
