Poland will welcome New Zealand to the Silesian Stadium in an international friendly on Thursday. The hosts will meet Lithuania in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers later this week, while the All Whites will take on Norway in a friendly next week.
The White-Reds were unbeaten in their two games last month. After a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands, they defeated Finland 3-1 at home. Matty Cash and Robert Lewandowski scored in the first half, and Jakub Kamiński added the third goal after the break.
The visitors met neighbors Australia in the Soccer Ashes last month. They lost 1-0 away in the first leg and suffered a 3-1 home loss a week later. They only have friendly games scheduled for the remainder of the year.

Poland vs New Zealand Prediction
Biało-Czerwoni scored three goals in a match for the first time this year in their home win over Finland last month and will look to build on that form. They have kept clean sheets in their two meetings against the visitors and are strong favorites.
All Whites are on a three-game losing streak, conceding six goals while scoring just twice. They are winless against national teams from Europe across all competitions since 2010, which is a cause for concern.
The White-Reds have a 100% home record in 2025 and should be able to register a comfortable win.
Prediction: Poland 2-1 New Zealand
