Factbox: Czech Republic v Poland
Facts and figures ahead of the Euro 2012 Group A match between the Czech Republic and Poland at the City Stadium in Wroclaw on Saturday
Reuters Published in Ahram Online on 16 - 06 - 2012

* Recent results between the two teams have been close withPoland winning three of five and the Czechs two, including thelast one - a 2-0 victory in Prague in October 2009 in a World
Cup qualifier. But before the break-up of Czechoslovakia,results were very one-sided with Poland winning a mere four of21 and Czechoslovakia triumphing in 12.
* To survive, Poland have to record their first victory at aEuro finals. They drew with co-hosts Austria and suffered twodefeats at the last finals four years ago and their two drawsthis time leave them needing victory at the sixth attempt.
* Poland are unbeaten in seven matches since losing 2-0 inWroclaw to Italy in a friendly last November.
* Hosts have not fared well at recent finals. CountingPortugal's defeat by Greece in the 2004 final, of 10 matchesplayed by hosts or co-hosts, only two have been won and five
were lost.
* The Czech Republic's 2-1 win over Greece on Tuesday endeda run of three successive defeats at Euro finals. They went outat the group stage in 2008 after losing to Portugal and Turkey
and were beaten in their opening game in Poland 4-1 by Russia.
* The Czechs have a decent scoring record, netting 20 goalsin their last 11 games and failing to score in only one - a 2-0defeat by world and European champions Spain last October.
