Poland host Belgium in a Group A4 fixture in the UEFA Nations League. Both nations have blown hot and cold in the competition and with their defences often exposed, goals can be expected in Tuesday’s clash.
Poland head into Tuesday’s encounter off the back of a 2-2 draw with group leaders Netherlands in their previous fixture. They raced to a two-goal lead through Matty Cash and Piotr Zielinski but were unable to see out the win.
While manager Czeslaw Michniewicz will be disappointed that his team let a two-goal lead slip, he will also be pleased to see them move on from the humiliating 6-1 defeat to Belgium. The result means the Poles have now suffered just one defeat in their last five matches across all competitions.
Home form has been vital for Poland who have suffered just one defeat in their last six matches in front of their fans. They have claimed four wins in that run, including a 2-1 victory over Wales in their opening UNL fixture.
Belgium were riding high from the 6-1 victory over Poland but were brought back down to earth by Wales last time out. They were held to a 1-1 draw in their previous fixture, with Youri Tielemans’ effort cancelled out by a late equaliser by the Welsh.
Group A4 has seen a lot of goals and Belgium are no different having begun their UNL campaign with a 4-1 defeat to Netherlands. As it stands, they have won just once in their three matches in the competition and are three points behind the Dutch side.
The result in Wales also highlights a poor record for Belgium on their travels where they have failed to win any of their last four away matches. Roberto Martinez’s men have drawn the last three matches in that run.
How the bookies view it
Belgium have the upper hand among the bookies and are priced at 22/19 by SBK to claim the win. A victory for Poland is valued at 13/5 with Unibet while a draw is set at odds of 27/11 by SBK.
Head to head
Poland have a 5-3 advantage with three draws from 11 previous matches with Belgium. The Poles will be out for revenge having suffered a 6-1 defeat in the reverse fixture in Belgium.
Players to watch
Despite only scoring once so far in the UNL, Robert Lewandowski remains the biggest attacking threat for Poland. The striker’s only goal came in that defeat to Belgium and will be keen to once again find the net at 11/8 with Paddy Power.
Belgium have spread their goals throughout the team in the UNL but Kevin De Bruyne could be the one to watch having developed a prolific side to his game lately. The midfielder was among the goals in the first meeting with Poland and is priced at 11/4 by bet365 to get on the score sheet on Tuesday.
Anything else catch the eye?
The goals have flowed freely in this group with Poland and Belgium showing plenty of defensive frailties. Over 3.5 goals is priced at 11/4 by Unibet while over 2.5 goals is valued at evens by SBK with William Hill offering 10/11 on both teams to score.
Poland have opened the scoring in their last two matches and could be backed to grab the first goal on Tuesday at 8/5 with William Hill.
