Michał Probierz’s side have been drawn in Group D alongside the Netherlands, Austria and France. It is not going to be easy for the Poles to get past the group. France and the Netherlands are the two strongest teams in the group, but there is always the chance of an upset.
Poland are in good form at the moment. They have won their last four matches, including a 3-1 victory over Ukraine on Friday. The match against Turkey will be Biało-czerwoni’s final warm-up game before the start of the UEFA Euro 2024 finals.
