Cristiano Ronaldo can completely extinguish Poland's chances for the playoffs
Poland is in a difficult situation
Poland is the last team in Group 3 in the Nations League. She has scored only one point in four matches and has practically no chance of promotion. Moreover, the Poles may leave League A. To do this, they need to lose the last two matches with a total score of 0:6. At first glance, this task is almost impossible. But the Poles will play the remaining matches with the teams that are leaders of their groups. On September 22, Czesław Michniewicz's team will face the Netherlands, and on September 25, it will play with Belgium.Portugal will not let anyone go higher
It is almost impossible to count on Poland's success in a match with the Netherlands. The Orange have not lost a single match in the Nations League and are in the top 8 of the FIFA rankings. In addition, Poland have problems with the composition. The team will not be able to count on the disqualified Grzegorz Krychowiak and Kamil Glik. The participation of Robert Lewandowski is also in question - the Barcelona player has a slight injury. So Poland can only hope for a miracle in the match with Portugal. But Cristiano Ronaldo and his partners are unlikely to allow the Poles to score the necessary six goals. The Portuguese themselves are aiming for first place in the group, and victory over Poland will bring them closer to their goal.In addition, the Portuguese have a number of advantages over the Poles:
- Portugal is ranked 9th in the FIFA rankings, while Poland is only 26th.
- Portugal has a more experienced and talented squad, including players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva and João Félix.
- Portugal is playing at home, which will give them a significant advantage.
Given all these factors, it is highly likely that Portugal will beat Poland and knock them out of the Nations League.
