Poland
FIFA Rating – 20
Poland, even playing away, was strong favourites playing against Slovenia. Unfortunately, they were not able to fulfil the plan and they did not even score, shooting only once on target. Slovakia stood very well in defence and did everything to stop Polish attacking players. Slovakia blocked most of the dangerous moments saving the clean sheet. This is an excellent indicator of team play and well-chosen coach tactics. For Slovenia, this win was much more important, than losing for Poland. During the whole qualification, this is the first points-losing match for hosts. Slovenia, now have small, but a chance to fight for second for getting into the main draw of Euro2020. Poland have a very strong defence, as they conceded only first time playing against Slovenia. So definitely, at home, they will be much stronger, with bigger motivation and better preparation.

Austria
FIFA Rating – 27
Austria started this Euro2020 qualification as bad as it was possible. They lost to Poland, playing at Ernst Happel Stadion, in Vienna. And after several days, they surprisingly lost even against Israel playing in Haifa. For such a strong and talented national team, this kind of qualification was very unpredictable. However, they already improved their game and won 3 matches in a row already collecting 9 points after 5 matches. As always, they called a very experienced and talented squad, so they have all the chances to be favourites in the Group G. The last match against Latvia they won with smashing 6:0 result, playing at Red Bull Arena, in Salzburg. During the whole game, Latvia made only one goal attempt shooting on goal. Austria is prepared and motivated facing one of the physically strongest squads in Europe.

Poland vs Austria H2H
Thee teams played in 1st round of Euro2020 qualification. That time, Poland overtook Austria even playing in Vienna, so this time guests should be very angry. That should be a great chance playing against Poland after their lost against Slevia being favourites. Poland showed their weaknesses and Franco Foda should use that.
