@Drifter- I've found that all statistics-based sites rate solid but unspectacular defenders low. This is largely because the things they do well aren't quantifiable- positioning, anticipation, organising those around them..... most of the things which 15 years ago made a top central defender along with the countable aspects such as tackling, clearing the ball from danger etc. Adams, Nesta, Blanc, Kohler, these players would likely rate low 7s most games according to modern-day criteria, but actually if you asked strikers of any era whether they'd rather face those 4 or typical modern-day CBs like Ramos, Thiago Silva, Boateng or Otamendi then they'd pick the latter foursome all day long.
given al Euro becoming serie A from Conte times, another 0-0 would not be so surprising, Poland will assure playing beoynd group stage and Ukraine will make 'pride'. Draw quite likely
Poland should switch to 4-2-3-1. They wouldn't need to change any personnel, Milik is better as a #10 than a genuine striker and playing as the most forward man SHOULD mean Lewandowski finds himself on the type of chances Milik did in the game against Germany. If Blaszczykowski and Grosicki are on form then I think Poland will win by a couple.
Again, the scores for Pazdan, Jędrzejczyk and Fabiański are too low. Statistics...

hard to predict, but i expect a draw 1-1 or 0-0.
Yeah i agree with whoscored it might 1-1 or 2-1
