Germany Favourite To Win at Home on Friday
Published on September 3rd, 2015 8:33 pm ESTGermany will be playing host to Poland in one of the marquee match-ups of Euro 2016 qualifying on Thursday evening.
Poland has done surprisingly well so well in the qualifying round, as they currently sit at the top of Group D with a record of 4-2-0 (14 points). Germany is currently sitting at #2 with 13 points, while Scotland is in third place with a total of 11 points.
Poland has been thoroughly dominant so far, as they have scored 20 goals while allowing just three. This gives the Polish side one of the best goal differentials of any team so far.
Germany, however, will be looking to reclaim their position at the top of the Group on Thursday. While Poland has certainly done well for themselves so far, Germany is still the defending World Cup champions and one of the best sides in the world. For that reason, Germany is still the clear favourite to win on Friday.
