Poland vs France - Match Preview

This is not a routine qualifier - Poland vs France on 5 June carries immediate consequences for the Group A2 final standings, with France aiming to lock in a play-off place and Poland fighting to avoid relegation from League A.

Heading into Matchday 5, the Group A2 table reads: Netherlands 8 points, France 7, Republic of Ireland 6, Poland 1. France know that avoiding defeat against Poland - while Netherlands simultaneously beat Ireland - mathematically confirms their play-off spot for the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil. Poland, already guaranteed a play-off berth across all leagues, face the threat of relegation to League B unless they win both their remaining matches and Ireland lose both of theirs.

The March encounter in Dijon ended with France running out convincing 4-1 winners, Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani among the scorers, with Ewa Pajor claiming Poland's only goal. In Gdańsk, Poland will draw on home support and the confidence that they drew 1-1 with the Netherlands earlier in this campaign. Ewa Pajor - who has surpassed 70 international goals for the Polish women's team - remains the primary attacking threat that France must contain.

Head-to-Head: Poland vs France

The women's head-to-head record between Poland and France is brief but consistently one-sided - across the 2 recorded meetings, France have remained unbeaten, with 1 win and 1 draw, leaving Poland yet to register a victory against Les Bleues.

Here are all previous meetings between the two women's national sides:

• 4 December 2022 - France vs Poland - 3:1
• 25 June 2024 - France vs Poland - 1:1

Poland - Recent Form

Poland's women have recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats across their last 5 matches, scoring 8 goals and conceding 9 - a mixed return that underlines the demanding schedule the team has faced.

Their most recent outing, a 0-2 friendly defeat against Ukraine on 31 May 2026, provided little confidence heading into this fixture. Before that, Poland lost 2-3 to Sweden on 31 March before bouncing back with a 2-1 win over Albania on 26 March. Looking further back, November 2025 brought a 3-2 victory in Malta and a 1-1 home draw against the Netherlands in Gdańsk - a result against the group's leaders that showed Nina Patalon's side can compete with Europe's elite on their own ground.

Ewa Pajor continues to be the heartbeat of the Polish attack, and her record of more than 70 international goals confirms her status as one of the most lethal strikers in European women's football.

France - Recent Form

France's women have been in outstanding form: 4 wins and 1 draw across their last 5 matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding just 4 - a record that reinforces their standing as one of Europe's top sides.

A March 2026 tour of South America yielded two commanding victories: 2-1 against Brazil on 26 March and 3-1 against Colombia three days later. In November 2025, France dismantled Ukraine 4-0, won 3-1 away in Azerbaijan, and drew 2-2 with Iceland in October. Within the qualifying group itself, they defeated Ireland 2-1 and thrashed Poland 4-1 in Dijon, before losing 1-2 to the Netherlands and drawing 1-1 in the return fixture.

Ranked 7th in the FIFA women's world rankings, France possess a squad capable of competing at the very highest level, with Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani leading the attack. Laurent Bonadei's side travel to Gdańsk as clear favourites, though their recent 1-2 defeat to the Netherlands is a reminder that they are not untouchable.
