Euro 2024: Players that will especially shine in France vs Poland match

Add as a preferred source on Google

France are set to face Poland in the last group-stage match for both teams. Les Blues are in second position in the table and need this win. If they don't and third-place Austria win their last match against the Netherlands, France could see themselves in a world of problems.

However, the chances of that happening is very small. On the other hand, losing both of their first two matches, Poland are already out of Euro 2024. In these situations, both teams will be determined to get wins and some players could especially shine under this pressure.

Kylian Mbappe (France)

The striker is expected to return to the starting lineup after missing the previous match due to a broken nose, an injury he picked during France's first Euro 2024 match.

Seeing how France played without their captain and the ace, it's clear that Mbappe makes a lot of difference for them. He scored twice against Poland in their last meeting at the 2022 World Cup.

Robert Lewandowski (Poland)

Similar to Mbappe, Robert Lewandowski makes the difference for Poland in all their matches. That's why it's not surprising that they are not doing so well in the tournament with Lewy sustaining an injury before the tournament started.

Even though he is recovering, the Poland captain still remains a significant threat upfront, having scored three of their four goals in Euro 2020. He will likely start this match.

N'Golo Kante (France)

France have a number of world-class players but N’Golo Kante was especially exceptional in France's last match. The midfielder has delivered two man-of-the-match performances so far, making crucial tackles and interceptions to help Les Blues maintain an unbeaten run.

Adam Buksa and Krzysztof Piatek (Poland):

Without the star of the team in the group with them, Adam Buksa and Krzysztof Piatek took it upon themselves to deliver for Poland. These two strikers have been among the goal-scorers for Poland in Euro 2024 so far. Even with Lewandowski coming back to the team, they can be expected to help their captain in the final third.
