Poland and Ukraine meet in Wroclaw after both teams failed to qualify for the World Cup 2026. Poland’s recent matches have been high-scoring but exposed defensive frailties, while Ukraine have also shown both scoring ability and defensive issues. The history between the sides, combined with relaxed stakes, makes 'Both Teams to Score' a strong possibility. A high-scoring affair is expected, with both teams eager to display attacking flair after disappointing qualifying campaigns.

Poland’s playoff matches were full of goal and action, while their back line conceded two goals to Malta in the final qualifying round. Ukraine have decent scoring potential, so I will back sides to score on Sunday. 

Key Stats  


  • Poland have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches. 
  • Poland beat Ukraine 3-1 in their most recent h2h. 

Poland Lead H2H 


Poland have a 5-3 advantage against Ukraine with 2 draws in 10 matches. 

Poles Were One Win Away From Qualifying for the WC 


Poland had a couple of early slipups in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers which didn’t allow them to compete for top spot in Group G against Netherlands, ultimately finishing second with 17 points from eight matches. 

The Eagles were behind at half-time of their semifinal playoff clash against Albania at home, but then pulled a comeback with veterans Robert Lewandowski and Piotr Zielinski finding the net to secure a 2-1 win. 

In the direct clash for a spot at the World Cup 2026, the Poles were beaten by Sweden 3-2 in Stockholm. They looked solid here, ending the clash with 1.53-1.65 expected goals, 67% possession and 15-9 shots. 

Ukraine Coming Off Disappointing Qualifiers 


Ukraine’s performances in the World Cup 2026 Qualifiers were underwhelming, claiming just three wins in six matches to finish second in Group D, far behind France. 

In the playoff semifinals, the Blue and Yellow were easily beaten by Sweden 3-1, allowing too much space to the opposition while posting just 0.76 xG. The Swedes had 2.38 expected goals and 10 shots. 

In their most recent appearance, Ukraine locked horns against Albania in a friendly match and won 1-0 on a neutral venue in Valencia. Oleksey Gutsulyak was the sole scorer in the second half. 

They recent appointed Andrea Maldera as the new national coach.

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Poland (3-4-2-1) Kamil Grabara; Jakub Kiwior, Jan Bednarek, Przemyslaw Wisniewski; Arkadiusz Pyrka, Sebastian Szymanski, Piotr Zielinski, Nicola Zalewski; Karol Swiderski, Jakub Kaminski; Robert Lewandowski

Bartosz Bereszyński and Matty Cash were not called up for these upcoming friendlies. Przemysław Frankowski is injured. Robert Lewandowski is currently at 165 appearances for the national team and scored 89 goals.

Ukraine (4-2-3-1) Anatoliy Trubin; Valeriy Bondar, Illia Zabarnyi, Mykola Matviyenko, Vitaliy Mykolenko; Heorhiy Sudakov, Mykola Shaparenko; Viktor Tsygankov, Ruslan Malinovskyi, Andriy Yarmolenko; Artem Dovbyk

Oleksandr Tymchyk, Ivan Kalyuzhnyi, Yehor Yarmolyuk, Oleksandr Zubkov and Vladyslav Vanat were not called up.

Verdict

None of these sides made it to the World Cup 2026, so I expect a relaxed approach and both teams to find the net in Wroclaw.
