Poland Insights.

The final warm-up game before Poland’s crucial UEFA Nations League (UNL) run-in sees the ninth all-time H2H with Ukraine, and the first since EURO 2016. The record is perfectly split so far (W3, D2, L3) with both sides scoring nine goals apiece for a per-match average of 2.25 total goals (62.5% producing under 2.5 goals). Poland have lost just twice in all games since the start of 2019 (W11, D2, L2). Seven of those victories came without reply whilst six were level at the break (HT: W5, D6). At home, Poland kept a clean sheet in six of their eight games across the same time period, whilst five of their six victories here came with a 2+ goal margin.

Ukraine Insights.

Visiting Ukraine have aspirations to reach the UNL finals themselves, following a shock 1-0 victory over Spain. Notably, the first goal could go a long way to settling things, given that the opening scorer won the game in 11 of Ukraine’s last 13 games, and the winning side led at HT in eight of the 11 games won/lost. Ukraine’s record vs sides ranked within ten places of Poland played on foreign soil since EURO 2016 stands at: D1, L3. Ukraine failed to score in all defeats whilst all four games produced under 2.5 total goals. Furthermore, six of their eight all-time H2H matches vs Poland have not seen a goalless first-half (HT: W2, D2, L4).
