The Round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup continues tonight (Sunday) with one of the only two European duels at this stage.
The world champion France wants to continue the journey towards retaining the title, and on the other hand, Poland and Robert Lewandowski are waiting, who succeeded in the group stage for the first time since 1986. The previous World Cup did end with the Tricolor on top of the world, but from the last major tournament, the Euros a year and a half ago, they were already eliminated in the round of 16 .
The French led 1:3 over Switzerland, but the opponent scored two goals towards the end and won a penalty shootout - a dubious achievement that the tricolor hope not to repeat.
After the division of forces in the loss to Tunisia, France returned to its strongest lineup.
Rafan Veran and Dayo Ofmakano came up in the center of the defense, Jules Conde on the right side, and together with Kylian Mbappe in the attack, Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele and Olivier Giroud started.
On the other hand, the Poles, who were not overly convincing in the group stage, nevertheless returned to the round of 16, and hope to cause a big surprise.
In Poland, Robert Lebedenowski is a lone striker.
