POLAND VS CROATIA PREDICTION
Victory is far more important for Poland than it is Croatia, who know that a draw maintains the three-point-gap between the two nations in Group 1. With that in mind, expect Poland to come out and really try to take the game to the visitors from an attacking perspective and with Lewandowski up top, it would be no surprise to see them get on the scoresheet.
However, Croatia do pose a notable offensive threat themselves and could be afforded extra space inside the opposition half that they can exploit on the counter-attack in particular. Therefore, the smart move here may be to back both teams scoring.
POLAND VS CROATIA TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
