Route to the World Cup
Poland
Nicknamed ‘The Eagles’, Poland huffed and puffed their way to qualify for the 2022 World Cup. By finishing second in their World Cup group qualification, they had to win two play-off fixtures to obtain their invitation to Qatar. They achieved this by beating Sweden 2 – 0 in the play-off final. Since then, Poland’s form has been reasonable in a difficult Nations League Group. They have beaten Wales on home turf going on to lose twice against Belgium, one of which was a 6 – 1 drubbing in Brussels. They also had a respectable 2 – 2 away draw against the Netherlands. They have two further difficult Nations League fixtures in September with a home game against Netherlands and an away fixture against Wales. You may want to keep an eye on these games and any additional warm-up friendlies that Poland arranges to check their form as the World Cup approaches.
Argentina
Argentina will obviously be one of the favourites going into the 2022 World Cup. This is backed-up by the fact they have not lost an international match since they were beaten 2 – 0 by Brazil in the Copa America way back on 3rd July 2019. It is three years since they have been beaten and in the past twelve months, they have played 14 fixtures, winning 11 and drawing 3. That is some form to be taking into the 2022 World Cup with notable victories over Brazil in the final of the 2021 Copa America, Uruguay in World Cup qualification and a 3 – 0 win over Italy in the CONMEBOL-UEFA Cup of Champions.
The 2022 World Cup will see the 12th meeting between the two teams, in the past Argentina has won 6, drawn 2 and lost 3 times against Poland.
