Both Austria and Poland lost their opening matches of Group D at Euro 2024. Their match at 11pm on June 21 will be decisive for both teams' tickets to the next round.

In the opening match, Austria lost 0-1 to France. Meanwhile, Poland, despite taking the lead, still let the Netherlands come back to win 2-1. The common point in the defeat of both teams is that they had moments of good play, but lost to the excellence of teams that were rated higher.

Poland and Austria have only faced each other once in a major tournament in their history. That was in the group stage of Euro 2008, when the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

In total, in all competitions, they have met 11 times. Poland has a better head-to-head record with 6 wins, while Austria has 3.

But at Euro 2024, Austria is the team that is rated higher. They have more classy players such as Marcel Sabitzer, Konrad Laimer, Christoph Baumgartner.

Meanwhile, Poland almost only has Robert Lewandowski as the real star. Some information says that the Barcelona striker has fully recovered from injury, and may start from the bench.

So it is understandable that Opta calculates that Austria has a 46.4% chance of winning this match. Poland's chance of winning is only 27.5%.

But in reality, experts say things are not that simple. The predictions given are quite contradictory. Everything comes from the fact that the Austrian team's ability is actually not too outstanding. In particular, their attack is not too strong.

Sportsmole predicts a 1-1 draw. Sportskeeda even predicts a shock 2-1 win for Poland, although this is unlikely.

Bookmakers offer Austria a handicap of 1/4 (0.25) goals over Poland, while the over/under is 2 1/2 (2.5) goals.

Expert's choice: Choose Poland to receive a handicap of 1/4, the match will have 2 goals or less.

Prediction: Poland draw 1-1 with Austria.
