Women's Euro qualifiers, division A. Poland is currently on the rise, as they have never played in any major tournaments before, so promotion to division A is already a top achievement in their history. However, their start has not been the best - 0:3 against Iceland, 1:3 against Austria. Their offense looks decent, but their defense struggled a lot at this level, with many positional mistakes. They also lacked experience when the team got lost, and it was only thanks to luck that they only conceded three goals against Iceland. The home team also missed unreal opportunities, and they could have had a worse performance at home against Austria. Tonight, it's questionable whether there will be any improvement after only a month of training. The opponents are very strong, and they also won't have one of their key players - the goalkeeper. Meanwhile, the Germans have started their cycle successfully, winning both games (3:1 against Iceland, 3:2 against Austria). Their offense is always strong, with fast ball movement and many scoring opportunities, but their defense is not the best. The legendary coach Hrubesch loves to attack and the proportion of "we'll score more than you" suits him well. I believe that tonight, the focus will once again be on offense, as I don't see how the Polish team could stand up against it. If they struggled against weaker opponents and conceded three goals, it is hard to expect anything positive against the Germans away. Germany plays very motivated and strongly at home, and recently they have been scoring 3-4 goals even against stronger teams. Their roster is also almost optimal, and they are preparing for the Olympics, so all players are trying to show their best. Therefore, I expect a serious and determined German team with at least 4 goals against the Polish defense.
