Poland vs England prediction: Harry Kane to frustrate Robert Lewandowski and co

It is second versus first in Group I as England travel to Poland to maintain their undefeated record in the qualifying stages and look to go one step closer to secure their place in Qatar as early as possible.

England are the favourites at 4/7 while Poland are 5/1 longshots with Grosvenor Sport while a draw is 11/4.

The Three Lions will be looking top maintain their 100% record in qualifying and extend the gap against their hosts to eight points as we approach the second-half of qualifying.

Southgate's side has an almost impeccable record winning all five matches so far, scoring 17 and conceding only once - courtesy of Polish international and Brighton & Hove Albion player Jakub Moder.

They will have to be on their toes however as Poland go into this game scoring 11 goals already in this international break - including seven against San Marino.

Tips

  • Harry Kane to score anytime - 5/4
  • England to win and both teams to score - 7/2
