Les Bleus advanced to the knockout stage after defeating Australia and Denmark 4-1 and 2-1, respectively, but were defeated by Tunisia in their final match after resting several of their key players.
Poland, on the other hand, drew 0-0 with Mexico and beat Saudi Arabia 2-0 in the group stage to book a spot in the knockout stage for the first time in 36 years, despite suffering a 2-0 loss to Argentina in their final group game.
Over the years, France and Poland have faced off countless times, and Les Bleus have a glaring statistical lead (eight wins to three, with five draws).
However, the only time the two European teams faced off in a significant international competition was in the 1982 third-place game in Spain, which Antoni Piechniczek’s team won (3-2), scoring shortly before and after halftime to secure a spot on the podium.
