This will be the second gathering among France and Poland at the World Cup, with their past one coming in the third-place play-off match in the 1982 competition - a 3-2 win for Poland.
France are unbeaten in their last seven gatherings with Poland across all contests (W3 D4), with their last loss against them being in a cordial in August 1982 (0-4). Les Bleus have kept a perfect sheet in every one of the last three in this run, which have been all since the turn of the thousand years.
France have turned into the primary ruling World Cup champion to arrive at the knockout stages since Brazil in 2006. The last defending champ to go out at the Round of 16 phase were Italy in 1986, who lost 2-0 to France.
This will be Poland's most memorable match in the knockout phases of a World Cup competition beginning around 1986, when they lost 0-4 to Brazil in the round of 16. Their last success at the World Cup beyond the gathering stage came against France, in any case, in their 3-2 win in the third-place play-off in 1982.
Since the Round of 16 was presented in the 1986 World Cup, France have showed up at this stage on five events and advanced from each of the five ties (1986, 1998, 2006, 2014, 2018). The main different countries to show up at this stage at least a time or two and progress each time are Germany (8/8) and Croatia (2/2).
This will be the third time that Poland have confronted the defending champs in a World Cup competition, while they have kept away from rout in every one of the past two - 1-0 v Brazil in 1974 and 0-0 v Germany in 1978. For France, in the interim, this will be their most memorable knockout stage game at the World Cup as defending champs.
Poland have just kept five shots on track in their three games at the 2022 World Cup, with 60% of those approaching in their game against Saudi Arabia on MD2 (3/5). Striker Robert Lewandowski has enlisted a greater amount of these shots on track (3) than the remainder of the Poland group joined (2).
Antoine Griezmann has made a larger number of chances than some other France player at the 2022 World Cup (11). Without a doubt, the main player to make 10+ in both of the last two World Cup competitions for France has been Griezmann, while he's now outperformed his complete from 2018 when they lifted the prize (10).
Kylian Mbappé has had nine additional shots (16) and five additional shots on track (7) than any France player in the 2022 World Cup. Just barely Fontaine (13) has more World Cup objectives for France than Mbappé (7), who scored two times in the Round of 16 of every 2018 against Argentina.
Wojciech Szczesny has a 90% save rate at the 2022 World Cup, and had saved every one of his initial 16 shots on track looked in the competition preceding Alexis Macintosh Allister's objective for Argentina. Szczesny has saved a punishment in every one of his last two games at the World Cup, while no goalkeeper on record has at any point halted three punishments in a solitary version of the competition (beginning around 1966, barring shootouts).
