Poland v Slovakia Euro 2020 live stream, kick off time, TV channel, and our prediction
Poland kick off their Euro 2020 campaign against Slovakia in St Petersburg.
Poland will hope to start their Euro 2020 campaign on solid footing with a chance to lead Group E – for a few hours at least – to boost their chances of progression at the tournament.
The Poles haven't particularly excelled with form in 2021 but the presence of Robert Lewandowski up front will strike fear into the hearts of every opponent they face during the tournament.
Manager Paulo Sousa will be determined to make the most of his star man as their Euro 2020 fixtures begin against Slovakia, knowing that a win could advance their cause to reach the knockout stages for what would be only the second time in Poland’s history.
Slovakia reached the Round of 16 when they made their European Championship debut five years ago in France and remain an awkward opponent, albeit one without many high profile stars in the mix.
They are firm underdogs in Group E but will hope to upset the applecart in a group that also contains former champions Spain and Sweden – who enter the tournament without Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Our prediction: Poland v Slovakia
Poland are heavy favourites heading into this clash thanks to their star-studded attack spearheaded by Lewandowski, and a strong defence that includes the likes of Kamil Glik and Michal Helik.
With the likes of Klich and Krychowiak in the midfield engine room, there’s plenty of energy in this side to drive forward and keep Slovakia at bay.
This game could be a testy affair but Poland are likely to settle down quicker and take control of possession. The result may be close but the Poles should run out victors over 90 minutes.
Our prediction: Poland 1-0 Slovakia (11/2 at bet365)
