Spain head into an encouter against Polandon Saturday. Played out at Estadio de La Cartuja, this is their second of three outings in the group stages at the Euro 2020. While Spain enter the Euro 2020 as number 6 in the FIFA world ranking, there is a pretty big gap to their opponent. Poland go into the competition ranked number 21.
Heading into their opening match at the tournament Spain are highly expected to win their group and dreaming of once again seeing a final at a European Championship. Spain had few problems taking a highly anticipated 1st place in the group stages and they are expected to go deep at the Euro 2020.
Whilst outsiders to top their group Poland still seem to have a decent opportunity to qualify for the knock out stages. That would be a welcome payback for the disappointment of leaving the Euro 2016 without even scoring a single goal. Booking a place at the Euros perhaps proved a little more exciting than Poland dreamed but they proved to have enough quality for a 1st place in the group.
