Poland vs. Austria: Lewandowski's Fitness Key
The UEFA EURO Group stage is in full swing, and there's already been plenty of drama. In Group D, Poland and Austria are set to face off on Thursday, with Poland's hopes resting on the fitness of star striker Robert Lewandowski.
Lewandowski's Injury Status
Lewandowski suffered a thigh injury in Poland's final warm-up match before the tournament, and his status for the Austria match is still uncertain. If he's unable to play, it would be a major blow for Poland, as he is their leading scorer and one of the best players in the world.
Poland's Chances with Lewandowski
If Lewandowski is fit to play, Poland will be confident of beating Austria. They have a strong team overall, and Lewandowski is always a threat to score goals. However, if Lewandowski is out, Poland's chances of winning will diminish significantly.
Scotland's Qualification Hopes
Scotland's chances of qualifying from Group D will be boosted if Poland and Austria end in a draw. A draw would give Scotland two points, which could be enough to see them through to the knockout stages.
Austria's Form
Austria are a dangerous team, and they will be looking to upset Poland in their second Group D match. They have a number of talented players, and they will be confident of getting a result against a Poland team that may be without their star striker.
The Poland vs. Austria match is sure to be an exciting one, and it could have a major impact on the race for qualification from Group D.
