Poland odds: To win 2022 World Cup, how far will they go, top scorer and more

Poland will be eager to address their modest World Cup record of recent years when they travel to Qatar this winter.

The Poles recorded third-place finishes twice in the space of eight years; achieving the feat in West Germany and Spain in 1974 and 1982 respectively.

However, the Eagles have failed to progress beyond the group stage in any of their four appearances since.

Czeslaw Michniewicz will be desperate to inspire a change of fortunes in Qatar, but can they go all the way?

Poland to win 2022 World Cup odds

Poland are currently priced at 100/1 to win the 2022 World Cup.

It is safe to say that the Poles are not realistically expected to challenge for glory in Qatar. Their aforementioned recent record on the biggest stage certainly supports that.

Inspired by nine-goal Lewandowski, Poland finished second in qualifying Group I – six points behind England, who inflicted one of the two defeats they suffered along the way.

That meant a play-off showdown with Sweden in March, when Lewandowski was on target again in a 2-0 victory that booked their place in the finals.

Poland’s potential path to 2022 World Cup final

Placed in Pot 3, Poland have been handed one of the toughest draws in reigning Copa America winners Argentina.

Nevertheless, joined in Group C by Mexico and Saudi Arabia, they will fancy their chances of progressing in second place at the very least.

They launch their campaign against the Mexicans before taking on Saudi Arabia, and they will be eager to get points on the board by the time they conclude the group phase against Argentina.

The Bayern Munich forward is his country’s most-capped player (129) and record scorer (75), but is yet to truly shine on the biggest stage of all.

After making his international debut in 2008, Lewandowski had to wait 10 years for his World Cup finals bow, but failed to register a single goal as the Poles bowed out in the group stages.

And he will be desperate to address that this time around.
