France may tonight need a big victory over Poland in order to top Group D when the two nations face off in Dortmund.
A relatively low-key goalless draw with the Netherlands has booked France’s place in the last-16, but they still have work to do if they are to earn a spot in the better half of the Euro 2024 knockout draw.

Should the Netherlands beat Austria, top spot will come down to goal difference, assuming Didier Deschamps’ side can get the job doing against Poland, who became the first side to be knocked out of the tournament.
Back-to-back defeats have ended Poland’s hopes of progressing from an extremely tough group, and they are now playing for pride in their final match before flying home.
Date, kick-off time and venue
France vs Poland is scheduled for a 5pm BST kick-off today, Tuesday, June 25, 2024.
The match will take place at the BVB Stadion Dortmund.

France vs Poland prediction
France have certainly not been at their attacking best at Euro 2024 so far, with their only goal of the tournament coming through Maximilian Wober turning the ball into his own net.
Austria and the Netherlands have been tough opposition, though, and they should find this a more routine assignment, particularly if Mbappe is back in the side.
