What shaped the view
- + Likely controlled, low-to-mid tempo early, with Poland expected to hold more territory and create the better chances.
- + No official lineups are supplied, so this is based on market strength and home setup rather than personnel assumptions.
- + The straight home win is cleaner than stretching to Poland -1 in what projects as a tight qualifying semi-final.

Why it made the board
Poland are the clearest side-based angle on the board and the 1X2 still sits at a playable price. With no lineup edge to justify a bigger handicap, backing the home win is the highest-probability eligible route.
Main risk
If Albania keep it compact and Poland lack cutting edge, this can stay low-event and drift toward a draw.
