Poland and Albania face off in a crucial World Cup semi-final play-off at the PGE Narodowy on Thursday night.
Jan Urban’s hosts pushed the Netherlands all the way in Group G but ultimately had to settle for second place behind the Dutch.
Now the Eagles must navigate a pair of high-stakes play-offs if they are to secure a third consecutive World Cup appearance.
Should Poland get past Albania, a winner-takes-all showdown with either Ukraine or Sweden awaits.
Albania, meanwhile, will be aiming to make history by reaching the World Cup for the first time.
The Red and Blacks impressed during the group stage, finishing as runners-up to England and ahead of Serbia to claim second spot in Group K.
How the bookies view it: Poland to progress
The pre-match odds suggest Poland will get the job done without the need for extra-time or penalties on Thursday night, with a home win priced at 4/6 on bet365.
Albania, meanwhile, are big outsiders at 19/4 with bet365, while the draw is also considered unlikely at 13/5 with the same firm.
Head to head: History favours the hosts
Poland have dominated this fixture historically, winning 10 of the 15 meetings between the nations, with Albania claiming just two victories and the other three encounters ending in draws.
It's worth noting that four of Poland’s last five wins over Albania have come with a clean sheet, and a repeat here is available at 29/20 with William Hill.
Players to watch: Lean on Lewandowski
With a remarkable return of 88 goals in 163 appearances for Poland, Robert Lewandowski looks too big to ignore for a goal or an assist on Thursday night at even-money (1/1) on PaddyPower.
Ylber Ramadani has never shied away from a yellow card, having earned plenty during his time with Aberdeen in Scotland. The tough-tackling Albanian midfielder was booked in his last outing against England, and another caution here looks well worth backing at 9/4 on bet365.
Predicted line-ups
Nicola Zalewski will be forced to sit this one out on Thursday night due to suspension, though he will be available should Poland progress to the final. Adam Buksa and Lukasz Skorupski will miss the clash through injury.
As for Albania, Armando Broja is available having recently returned from injury for club side Burnley.
Poland: Dragowski; Cash, Wisniewski, Kedziora, Kiwior, Skoras; Kaminski, Slisz, Zielinski, Grosicki; Lewandowski
Albania: Strakosha; Hysaj, Ismajli, Djimsiti, Pilo; Laci, Asllani, Ramadani; Bajrami, Uzuni, Hoxha
Anything else catch the eye?
Matty Cash looks good value at even-money (bet365) to attempt two or more shots during Thursday night’s showdown in Warsaw.
Typically deployed as a right wing-back for the national team, Cash has attempted two or more shots in four of his last five outings.
Alternatively, if you fancy the Aston Villa ace to hit the target at least once, that particular selection is available at 5/4 with bet365.
