Poland road to Russia 2018 World Cup
With a FIFA ranking layout position of 7, the Poland ensemble have a total of 5 FIFA World Cup appearances, which will currently come to a total of six with this qualification. Yet another participant without titles to their credit, their best achievements consist of arriving twice at semifinals, placing third at the 1974 and 1982 World Cups. Their first appearance at a World Cup was in 1938, and the last one occurred 12 years before, in 2006. Check Poland Betting Odds here.
During a much disputed clash carried out on Montenegrin turf, it was an indefatigable and unyielding Lukas Piszczek from Poland that extracted some very hard-earned 3 points to secure their place in the upcoming FIFA World Cup summer tournament. They made it through with the golden ticket to Russia 2018 to Group H, alongside important contenders such as Japan, Colombia, and Senegal; their matches are due to kick off on June 19th, 2018.
Poland Key Players
Top scorer for Poland in Europe’s 2018 World Cup qualifiers, Rober Lewandowski is the author of 16 goals in 10 appearances, earning him the moniker of “best striker in the world” from his own coach Adam Nawalca. Coach Nawalka, a former participant in the 1978 FIFA World Cup, became the national team’s coach in 2013 and adroitly led them towards the team’s first FIFA World Cup after 12 long years of absence. Defense’s center-back Kamil Glik is backbone material; right-back Lukasz Piszczek definitely made the cut when securing the winning goal against Montenegro, and Piotr Zielinski’s playmaking skills have become key for the team.
In a nutshell: as much as there are very valuable players in the Poland ensemble, Lewandowski is KEY and Poland cannot afford to have him get injured. Back in October, a muscle injury that put him out of the game was all due to exhaustion, thus Poland needs to monitor his fitness to be able to rely on him for the summer tournament. For the left-back position, it has been an ongoing problem to find someone adept to fill it, and whilst Coach insists on the need for new blood, there have not been many international-level replacements found. With lack of depth as perhaps the team’s greater problem, this will reflect on how the Poland betting odds are going to progress.
Ranking 13th at the betting favorites layout among the countries up for the World Cup betting odds, the outright winning odds for the Polish football ensemble range from 33/66 to 1.
