France vs Poland match preview: World Cup 2022 round of 16

Al Jazeera  

Mbappe and Co face off against a stubborn Poland as France’s title defence continues in the round of 16. Who: France vs Poland Where: Al Thumama Stadium When: December 4, 6pm France will start their World Cup last-16 clash as overwhelming favourites but Poland are well equipped to derail Les Bleus’ title defence at Al Thumama Stadium. France qualified for the knockout phase with a game to spare after two stylish performances against Australia and Denmark but lost the final group match to Tunisia after resting several key players. While Kylian Mbappe, who is chasing records in Qatar after already scoring seven World Cup goals before the age of 24, might find it hard to use his devastating pace against a packed defence, Ousmane Dembele could be France’s main weapon. But for all of Poland’s defensive resolve, they have been far from prolific in front of goal and have scored just twice this World Cup, both goals coming against Saudi Arabia.
