Ace Football previews the Group E match between Spain and Poland in Euro 2020 and offers betting tips, the best odds, predictions, and form guides.
Spain take on Poland for a match in the European Championship this Saturday at Estadio de La Cartuja. While the home team enter Euro 2020 as number 6 in the FIFA world rankings, there is a pretty big gap to their 21st-placed opponent.
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. La Roja 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 knockout 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 the Poles dreamed but they proved to have enough quality for 1st place in the group.
