Poland begins their bid to play in the European Championship next year in Group E with Czech Republic, Albania, Faroe Islands, and Moldova. The Polish national team can easily go through with teams in this pack but they must make sure they don't have a bad start against the Czech Republic who also have their stars. My preferred betting pick in this game is a Poland win or draw which has quite good offers from the bookmakers. Here's why you should bet on Poland to win or draw;

[1] The Polish national team had one of their best World Cup campaigns in recent times as they progressed from the group stage alongside Argentina but they lost eventually to World Cup finalists, France. Despite making it past the group stage, Poland still got rid of their manager and they are now under the guidance of Fernando Santos who is a great tactician and one of the best in the world. He won the Euros with Portugal breaking a decade long trophy drought for the selecao. Poland would definitely be a more feared team under the new manager and I have no doubts he would kickstart his tenure with a very good result against Czech Republic. The Czechs failed to make it to the group stage of the world cup let alone qualifying. Jaroslav Silhavy has come under fire for recent tactics and we should expect another poor outing from the Czech Republic.

[2] The Czech Republic's form is very terrible and they are one of the poorest teams in this group. Out of ten games last year, they won only two times and one of those victories came in the friendly game against the Faroe Islands. The Czech Republic has not won any of their last five competitive games with four straight losses heading into the European Championship qualifiers. Poland has outperformed the Czech Republic and it's no surprise they have gone past the hosts on the FIFA World rankings, sitting in the top 30 while Czech Republic doesn't make the cut. Poland's defeats last year were against European giants like France, Argentina, Netherlands, and Belgium. I don't see them losing to an out of form Czech Republic.
