France will aim to continue its unbeaten run in the UEFA European Championship when it faces Poland in a Group D match at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany on Tuesday. The match holds significance for both teams, but for different reasons.
France, despite its undefeated record, is yet to score a goal from its own players in the tournament, a unique statistic among all participating teams. This match presents an opportunity for Les Bleus to find their scoring touch and gain confidence before the knockout stages. Meanwhile, Poland, already eliminated from the competition, sees this match as a valuable opportunity to prepare for the upcoming UEFA Nations League in the autumn.
Poland coach Michal Probierz has confirmed that his team will field its strongest possible lineup against France. “We will play against France with our best possible lineup. This game will be good for us as part of our preparations for the UEFA Nations League in the autumn,” Probierz stated before the match.
The referee for the match will be Marco Guida from Italy. Guida, a 43-year-old referee, has been a FIFA official since 2014 and is currently ranked as a UEFA elite category referee. The assistant referees and the Video Assistant Referee will also be from Italy, ensuring a consistent officiating team from the country. This match promises to be an interesting encounter as France seeks to maintain its perfect record while Poland utilizes the opportunity to prepare for upcoming challenges.
