Poland and Saudi Arabia square off at the Education City Stadium in the second round of Group C fixtures on Saturday.
The Green Falcons caused the first major upset of the World Cup when they stunned Argentina on Tuesday and will be looking to build on that result.
Poland were denied a dream start to their World Cup campaign as they were held to a goalless draw by Mexico.
Robert Lewandowski was given the chance to put Biało-Czerwoni ahead from the penalty spot in the 22nd minute but was denied by Guillermo Ochoa in goal for the South Americans.
Poland are now winless in three of their last four competitive matches, losing twice and claiming one draw in that time.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia fought back from a goal down at half time to claim a stunning 2-1 victory over tournament favourites Argentina.
After falling behind to a first-half opener from Lionel Messi, Hervé Renard’s men upped the ante in the second half as Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari scored in a five-minute spell to see off the Argentines.
Saudi Arabia are currently first in Group C and will look to stake their claim for a place in the knockout stages with another inspiring performance on Saturday.
