Wales host Poland at the Cardiff City Stadium in UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying on Tuesday (March 26).
Both teams are vying to qualify via the playoffs after failing to clinch automatic qualification in the group stage. They have been drawn in Path A of the playoffs, with Wales beating Finland 4-1 in the semifinals, while Poland crushed Estonia 5-1. Wales and Poland are set to meet in final, with a ticket to the Euro 2024 finals at stake.
The Dragons are eying a third participation in the UEFA European Championship following their debut appearance in 2016 and another five years later. However, Poland could be a stumbling block this time, being a daunting nemesis for the Welsh outfit. In nine clashes, Poland boast seven wins and just one loss.
The visitors finished third in Group E with 11 points behind Albania and Czech Republic. Poland have participated in the European Championship since 2008 and are hoping to clinch a fifth straight qualification. However, home advantage could be in favour of Wales, who have been invincible at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Biało-Czerwoni have been disappointing on the road recently, losing four games out of five and conceding 11 goals against four scored. However, Wales coach Rob Page reckons Poland will up their game due to the stakes involved.
Poland are unbeaten in five clashes with Wales across competitions, both home and away.
