Poland will entertain Latvia at the National Stadium Warsaw in a friendly on Tuesday.
The hosts played a 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic in their final match of the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers on Friday as Jakub Piotrowski's first-half goal was canceled out by the in-form Tomáš Souček in the 49th minute.
As Poland failed to earn three points from the match, they were not able to secure direct qualification into the main event. They'll have to try their luck in the playoffs in March next year.
The visitors fell to a 2-0 home loss to Croatia in their final match of the European qualifiers. It was their seventh loss of the campaign and they will finish at the bottom of the Group D standings.

Poland vs Latvia Prediction
Biało-czerwoni head into the match on a three-game unbeaten run, though the last two games have ended in 1-1 draws. Interestingly, they have failed to score in just one of their last 10 games across all competitions and should be able to find the back of the net in this match as well.
They are unbeaten in their last six friendlies at home, recording four wins, and are likely to produce a strong performance. Having drawn two games in a row, Michał Probierz will look to register a win in their last game of the year.
Latvia have endured a poor run in 2023, suffering eight defeats in nine games. They have registered just one win in away meetings against the hosts and might struggle here.
Considering the hosts' dominance in the head-to-head record against the visitors and current form, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Poland 2-1 Latvia.
