In a friendly football match, the national teams of Poland and Turkey will meet. The game kicks off on Monday at 18:45.
Poland has a robust and well-coordinated squad. In their last five matches, they haven't suffered a single defeat. They drew with the Czech Republic (1:1), defeated Latvia (2:0), Estonia (5:1), Wales (0:0, 5:4 on penalties), and a few days ago, triumphed over Ukraine in a friendly (3:1). I thought the Ukrainians would put up a fight, but Poland handled it confidently, without even needing Robert Lewandowski's help. Thus, it won't be easy for Turkey.
Turkey performed excellently in the qualifiers, but their current form raises concerns. They displayed a lacklustre performance against Italy (0:0), were soundly defeated by Austria (1:6) with no chances whatsoever, and narrowly lost to Hungary (0:1). Turkey has players capable of scoring, yet recently we have seen only the shadows of Yusuf Yazıcı and Hakan Çalhanoğlu. This kind of play certainly won't cut it at the Euros.
The last time these teams met was way back in 1993 during the World Cup qualifiers, where Turkey emerged victorious with a score of 2:1.
The last time Poland lost in Warsaw was to the Netherlands (0:2) in 2022. Conversely, Turkey has been lacklustre in away games. I would recommend a handicap1 (0) bet at 1.66.
