"Last seen securing a routine 2-0 victory away at Lithuania, Jan Urban's side know that they can officially wrap up their World Cup ticket here. Despite falling to a disappointing 2-1 loss against Finland on June 10th, that is the only defeat that Poland have suffered from any of their previous 10 appearances across all competitions. Putting 13 points on the board from their six Group G showdowns this year, Friday's hosts have also gained a recent reputation for their dominance on home soil."
"Bagging a La Liga hat-trick during Barcelona's 4-2 victory away at Celta Vigo last weekend, skipper and record-breaking talisman Robert Lewandowski will lead the line on Friday night and earn a 162nd International cap. However, Porto defender Jan Bednarek was shockingly omitted from Urban's squad. Becoming a key part of Poland's set-up, Aston Villa star Matty Cash will start at right-back."
Poland will host the Netherlands in Warsaw on Friday with the opportunity to clinch World Cup qualification with a win. Poland have won five home matches this year by an aggregate 9-1 and hold 13 points from six Group G fixtures. The Eagles have suffered only one defeat in their last ten matches. Robert Lewandowski, fresh from a La Liga hat-trick for Barcelona, will lead the line and earn his 162nd cap. Jan Bednarek was omitted from the squad, while Matty Cash will start at right-back and Piotr Zielinski could anchor midfield. The Netherlands have recovered from Nations League disappointment and top Group G under Ronald Koeman with a three-point lead.
