The second fixture of Group C will serve to be a treat as we will be able to partake in another delicious border rivalry contest between the defending World Champions, Germany and their ferocious counterparts and neighbors, Poland. Both teams have secured three points in their opening fixtures by way of winning their matches outright. Germany comes in off of a typically methodical German performance, dominating possession against Ukraine in route to a 2-0 win. Poland enters on a 1-0 victory against Northern Ireland but the match by no means was a walk in the park for the Polish, as feisty and resilient Northern Ireland was primed to take Poland to the final whistle.
In rivalry matches of this nature with two potential heavyweight combatants, there is all the more reason to stay off the match entirely. Conversely with Germany simply being a participant in the contest, we have reason to expect the Germans will be offered at an expensive price given the fact they won as expected in their opening match. With this being considered, we won’t play chalk and risk much especially with respect for the fact that Poland is a very dangerous team that knows how to score. Let us not forget Mr. Robert Lewandowski who took the Bundesliga by storm as an attacking forward, who remains Poland’s weapon of choice for assaulting their combatants. The mere presence of this striker can make many foes cringe, respectively we would expect Germany not to shutter one bit.
For both squads, this contest will likely be their greatest challenge in this group stage. Combining this narrative with their opening victories, it is all the more likely both teams will enter this fixture with an air of caution. For Germany, a draw plays well in to their hand, they are ahead of Poland in goal differential by a point and are acute to the fact they get the weakest team in the group Northern Ireland as the finale to the group stage. Instead of risking it all for a win, Germany may likely employ a conservative approach to force Poland to play a better game against Ukraine than Germany against Northern Ireland. As a result of this strategy, Poland will likely feel the heat to outscore Germany if they wish to win the group or they will settle for second.
No matter how this contest is dissected, both teams simply cannot afford to lose to each other and that is why while many pundits and analysts may see this one as a high-scoring donnybrook, we would actually be surprised if there was any scoring at all. Bragging rights can be the only motivating factor in this contest that may cause any abnormalities to occur but we are assured that angle would only rest with Poland as Germany has everything to lose in this tournament. Nevertheless, look for both teams to play this one passively and thus we are calling for the draw.
