Poland News and Form – Can Poland stay strong at the top?
Poland opened their qualification campaign with a four match winning streak. So their defeat out in Slovenia on Friday night, a 2-0 loss, did come as a big surprise. That loss leaves Poland with a three point advantage over Austria at the top of the qualification group. So that result on Friday puts some pressure on Poland in this tougher game.
The goals that Poland conceded against Slovenia were the first that they have let in during this qualification campaign. Poland have taken home wins over Latvia and Israel so far in the group. They have won each of their last five European Championship home qualifiers so do have that form behind them. In total, they are unbeaten in thirteen such home fixtures now, winning eleven of those.
Robert Lewandowski is obviously the first goalscorer favourite in this one at a quote of 3/1* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on September 7th, 2019 at 5:17 p.m.). The Bayern Munich man has only scored two goals during this qualification group so far. Poland have have scored at least two goals in each of their last nine home qualification matches (European Championship). So they do have the home form to come up with a response to Friday’s disappointing result.

Austria News and Form – Can Austria win in Poland?
Austria had a fun night on Friday, securing a 6-0 home success against Latvia. So that is a three match winning streak that they are currently riding in the qualification group. Austria have produced 10 goals in their last two games. If they could collect a win on Monday in Poland, that would leave them in a very strong position to reach Euro 2020.
There is pressure behind them, so it’s not only about them trying to close the gap on Poland. Slovenia and Israel are both only a point behind Austria. It is a W3 L2 record that Austria have produced in their last five competitive away games. None of the teams in this Group G of Euro 2020 managed to win their Nations League group. So none of them have a second-chance of the play-offs if they can’t make the top two.
Austria have taken a W6 L1 record in their last seven European Championship qualification away games. The one loss in that very good sequence was in their first road game of this campaign. That was a 4-2 loss in a thrilling game out in Israel. There has been a trend in Austria’s away games, with each of their last four qualifiers going over 4.5 goals.
