Betting tips: Poland x Estonia
Check out our predictions of the day for Poland vs Estonia
Prediction 1: Poland x Estonia / Poland to win HT and FT
It is understated to claim that Estonia secured a spot in the Euro 2024 playoffs, and the disparity in skill between the two teams ought to be evident right from the off.
While the visitors may have stunned Poland twelve years ago, the Eagles have been unstoppable at home in Euro qualifying, so they should cruise to victory on Thursday and go to the final unchallenged.
Prediction 2: Poland x Estonia / Over 3.5 goals
With only one point and a goal differential of -20 after eight matches against Azerbaijan, Belgium, Sweden, and Austria, Estonia finished last in Group F. In qualifying, they were second-to-last in goals scored and second-worst in goals surrendered, behind only Gibraltar and Liechtenstein.
While Sweden thrashed Estonia 5-0 in Tallinn and 2-0 at home, Poland takes a more systematic approach. Despite Robert Lewandowski’s superiority over Viktor Gyokeres at the elite level, both teams’ rosters are competitive.
Prediction 3: Poland x Estonia / Poland to win to nil
Given that Michal Probierz’s squad has lost only twice in their previous nine matches, it’s little wonder that the bookies have given Poland an 84.6% probability of winning Thursday’s semi-final.
Before this week’s pivotal playoff, Estonia’s form—which includes nine losses in their past eleven matches—could scarcely be worse, and our free football picks for today have gone against them once again.
