UEFA EURO 2012: POLAND V. RUSSIA
MATCH 10: POLAND V. RUSSIA
at National Stadium Warsaw, Warsaw (POL)
The last match of the night sees Poland go up against the current group leader, Russia.
I predicted Russia would take this one home against Poland. Although not as aggressively as they did with Czech Republic.
