UEFA Euro 2024 is back in action with another set of matches this week as Poland lock horns with Ralf Rangnick's Austria side in a crucial encounter at the Olympiastadion Berlin on Friday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and have a point to prove going into this game.
Austria are currently rooted to the bottom of Group D in the UEFA Euro 2024 standings and are yet to find the back of the net in the tournament. The Austrians gave a good account of themselves against France and will need to make it count on Friday.
Poland, on the other hand, are in third place in their group in the tournament and will need to take it up a notch this month. The Polish outfit gave the Netherlands a run for their money last week and will need to make a statement of intent this week.
