Portugal enter their UEFA Nations League matchup against Poland with momentum, needing just one point to secure a top-two finish in their group. Despite a slip against Scotland in a 0-0 draw, they maintain a three-point lead, giving them a strong chance to top the group.

Roberto Martinez’s squad has consistently performed well at home, boasting a record of only conceding a single goal across the majority of their Nations League matches.

Portugal Team News

The Portuguese team has a few injury concerns, especially in defence. Ruben Dias and Goncalo Inacio’s absence may lead to an inexperienced pairing in the back line, though Benfica’s Antonio Silva is expected to step in.

Portugal’s attack, while lacking Diogo Jota and Goncalo Ramos, will still be spearheaded by veteran Cristiano Ronaldo, with Bruno Fernandes and Rafael Leao providing additional firepower.

Poland, aiming to break into the top two of the group, have struggled for consistency, though they recently showcased that they have the fight in them with in a 3-3 draw with Croatia.

With Robert Lewandowski sidelined due to a back issue, Poland's attack faces a significant setback. Arkadiusz Milik’s absence further depletes the forward line, meaning Krzysztof Piatek and Karol Swiderski are likely candidates to lead the attack, potentially in a two-striker formation under coach Michal Probierz.
