The first rounds of the Nations League showed that the Polish national team is unlikely to be able to seriously claim to get out of the group. There are much better chances to keep their place in the elite. Especially after the away win over the Scots. Poland have big obvious problems with defense. They have both personnel and playing problems. The national team has conceded in seven consecutive games.
The Portuguese national team was initially considered the favorite of their group and so far justifies this status. In September, they won two games in two matches. Both with a minimum score, but both confident. Portugal’s squad is one of the strongest at the tournament. Against such a powerful attacking line, which is also supported by a very good middle line, it will be problematic for Poland.
