Current Squad / Roster

Poland is one of the underdog nations from Europe going to the FIFA World Cup tournament this year. The team hasn’t had much impact on the tournament and has never really produced a top-notch brilliant moment. However, they have another chance to push for a better record in the competition.

The team would have to play in Group C against some tough opponents, but they do have the chance to make it out of the group. The team’s FIFA World Cup betting stats are not too good but with discipline and drive to defeat the top two teams in their group, they can make it out. Let’s look at the team and how they are setting up for the FIFA World Cup groups in Qatar.

Poland’s FIFA World Cup Future Odds

Poland has one of the best FIFA World Cup odds of winning the world cup among the different underdogs. The team is set to win the world cup at +12500. However, compared to the top teams, this is a high odd with a slim chance of winning. But, you can look at the team’s chances of advancing or winning Group C.

Their odds of winning the group are +450. Meanwhile, their odds of advancing from the group are -110 for yes and -125 for no. They have a good chance of getting out of the group but must compete against teams like Argentina, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia.

FIFA World Cup Championships Poland's Record

Historical Events

Poland’s first appearance at the World Cup was in 1938. Unfortunately, the team only played one game in that competition before crashing out. They didn’t make it to the contest until 1974, when they had incredible success, finishing third in the competition. They played seven games and won six.

They went on to qualify for the competition in 1978, 1982, and 1986. In all three competitions, they did well but never got to win the match. From 1990 to 1998, Poland missed out on World Cup competitions. Since 2002, the team has only appeared at the tournament three times before 2022.

Poland has done well on two occasions. The first came in 1974, the country’s best-ever performance at the world cup to date. They won their first two games, which helped them secure second place in the group. They went on to win and get to the semifinals before losing and playing Brazil for third place, which they won.

Poland has had many top players in history. Two of the most notable players are Wladyslaw Zmuda and Grzegorz Lato, who both have the most appearances for the country at the world cup. Aside from that, Lato has the record for the most goals for the country. Another notable player is Zbigniew Boniek.

Other impactful players include Andrez Szarmach, Kazimierz Deyna, Henryk Kasperczak, Andrzej Szarmach, Antoni Szymanowski, Jerzy Gorgon. These players had great impact on the team since they made their debut until retirement.

Poland’s Fun Facts in the Previous World Cups

Poland’s 1974 run was one of the best for any Eastern Bloc country still in existence today. The team went all the way to finish third in the competition. They even defeated the defending champions Brazil in the third-place match. Poland’s stats haven’t since reached that height, even though they’ve been at the World Cup many times.

Team Squad for the 2022 World Cup

Expected FIFA World Cup Team Roster

From the wide range of players available, Michniewicz needs to make a choice that would help the entire nation. The metrics the players would use to make the team would depend on the coach, but we think some players have done enough to ensure a place in the squad, except they are injured before the start of the FIFA World Cup groups.

World Cup Schedule

Poland is one of the teams to grace Group C. They would be playing Argentina, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico. Poland would be kicking off their FIFA World Cup schedule against one of the toughest teams in the competition, Mexico. They will need at least a draw from this match if they want to advance from the group.

After that, they would face Saudi Arabia before finally meeting Argentina. If they can get four points from their first two games, they would have a high chance of getting into the knockout rounds. Unfortunately, it would be tricky to win on Poland betting, but not impossible.
