Poland vs Wales Prediction and Betting Odds: Recent Form
Poland has done a decent job so far with some breakthrough performances aiding them on the international scene. They finished 10th in the 2nd season but this side has looked competitive against top teams like Italy and Netherlands ensuring that they are making it to the next stage without any doubt.
The Group 4 of League A looks extremely competitive and the side is all excited to take on Netherlands, Belgium and Wales in the group stage games.

Despite losing their way in their last few international fixtures, it is time for them to find feet as they face mighty challenges in the form of Poland, the Netherlands and Belgium.
