Poland Austria betting tip & the best odds for the 2nd matchday of Group D
As we all know, close is also over. And so, unfortunately, Rangnick’s team can’t buy anything from their courageous performance against “Les Bleus”, which earned them many pats on the back. The only thing they can be sure of is the respect of the soccer fans – and of course a well-disposed Poland Austria tip!
The task now is to look ahead and defeat the supposedly easiest group opponent. Full commitment could be worthwhile, if only because a win should be enough to qualify for the round of 16.
According to my Poland-Austria prediction, the ÖFB team’s better playing style will prevail – possible return of Lewandowski on the other side or not!
This match will be the second meeting between Poland and Austria at a major tournament, after the two teams drew 1-1 at EURO 2008. Back then, the draw secured the only point for both teams in the tournament.
But I don’t think you need a history lesson to realize that the ÖFB team will play the better soccer in 2024, even if the announced Lewandowski comeback will give the Eastern Europeans additional motivation.

The Poland – Austria prediction of the bookmakers
My betting friends and I are busy writing European Championship tips these days and, of course, we are always looking at the betting markets and the behavior of the bookmakers.
The exact Poland-Austria odds are of interest in order to be able to create a soccer bet on this basis that is also convincing from the point of view of “profitability”.
The bookmakers are offering Austria odds of around 1.95 to win on Friday, compared to Poland odds of around 4.00.
It is therefore easy to see that in the eyes of the bookies, an ÖFB treble on matchday 2 is twice as likely as the reverse…
Poland – Austria odds: Where are the highest Austria odds?
In principle, you can visit any of the providers listed in the betting provider comparison with a clear conscience, as they are all licensed and also have first-class sports betting offers for almost every Poland-Austria betting tip.
With regard to the upcoming match, however, I am particularly impressed by the Poland Austria odds from Bet365, as they offer a wealth of suitable special bets, of which I have selected the most interesting ones
Analysis: Poland vs Austria
The game against France took its toll! Danso – the defender who unfortunately collided with Mbappe – as well as Wöber, Mwene, Baumgartner and Laimer have all been booked.
In the event of another yellow card against Poland, they would miss the final match against the Netherlands. But the match against Poland and the three points at stake are too valuable not to give 100% – now more than ever!
What’s more, Austria have played some great soccer so far. Shortly before Wöber’s unfortunate own goal, they even had the chance to take a 1-0 lead themselves.
In the end, however, the speed and individual class of various French players made the difference. But as far as second place is concerned, the last word is far from spoken
Meanwhile, Poland performed much better in their opening game against Holland than the oddsmakers had expected, especially as they were without the services of Robert Lewandowski.
The good news for an odds-powered Poland Austria prediction: a return of “Lewa” is considered likely according to the coach. But will that be enough?
Personally, I don’t have the impression that Poland’s problem is the exploitation of chances, but rather the creation of promising opportunities.
And the way things are going, Lewandowski will probably have to drop far back into midfield to receive balls …
In addition, the ÖFB team have the better playing system. But although Austria had more possession against France on the first matchday, completed more sprints and played more passes in the final third, Rangnick’s team still only managed to fire five shots …
Incidentally, that was the second-lowest tally in a European Championship match for the Red & Whites for a long time, after they managed just four shots in a 0-0 draw against Portugal in 2016
Quota analysis
In the end, it should be a low-scoring affair. I’ll give you precise statistical arguments as to why the Eastern Europeans could come away empty-handed in terms of goals and points.
Accordingly, I favor the three final results 1:0, 2:0 and 2:1 for the Alpine footballers in my Poland-Austria betting tip, which are completely covered by the bet type Favorite win & Under 3.5 goals at selected bookmakers and promise a win factor of around 2.70 in this form.
This bet is completely sufficient for me, but if I had to commit to a single result, then I would put my money on a 2:0 tip with a view to the current Poland-Austria odds of 10.25.
Poland vs. Austria odds: POL scores few European Championship goals
Poland will be lucky to score any goals at all on Friday, even with Lewandowski in the center of the attack.
Because it is precisely from the demonstrable trend of the Eastern Europeans at European Championships to rarely score more than one goal that I derive my Poland Austria prediction and the associated recommendations.
After all, “Polska” has scored more than one goal in only one of all 15 European Championship matches, in a 3:2 defeat against Sweden at the 2020 European Championship
It’s time for the ÖFB team to win again
It’s a pairing that goes back a long way and one in which the ÖFB team now has the opportunity to finally turn the tables.
Austria won three of their first five encounters with Poland (two defeats) between 1935 and 1994 …
However, the Red-White-Red have failed to win any of their last five matches against Poland (2 draws, 3 defeats).
Incidentally, all of these competitive matches took place between 2004 and 2019
In addition, I also recommend you to bet on the ÖFB selection in this match because the defeat against France hides the actual performance of the Rangnick team.
The “Rangnick system” usually works best against teams that are not exactly littered with world-class players from head to toe.
Watch out for the Poland-Austria prediction: Austria’s 1-0 defeat against France was the first time in 18 games that the ÖFB team failed to score.
The last time they failed to score in two consecutive games was in September 2022, and one of those games was also against France …
From the Eastern Europeans’ point of view, Lewandowski’s return would also be welcome because he has been a point of reference for the team for many years and cannot be overestimated.
After a run in which he played full time in all 18 of Poland’s tournament matches between EURO 2012 and the 2022 World Cup, Robert Lewandowski finally missed his country for the first time again on matchday one against the Netherlands.
Poland have not played two consecutive tournament matches without him since his international debut in September 2008.
My Poland Austria tip:
Austria will travel to Berlin with several players booked for yellow cards, but will be desperate for a win after their narrow defeat against France.
Poland, on the other hand, will be able to call on Robert Lewandowski again, but I personally liked the ÖFB team’s more mature style of play in the opening game against France much better.
In my Poland-Austria betting tip, I expect a result such as 0:1, 0:2 or 1:2 in favor of Austria after a long and tough struggle, which should not be accompanied by too much drama …
My tip: Austria win and less than 3.5 goals are scored
