Portugal will be out to protect their undefeated run while Spain seek to make sure they get to play-offs
As Poland prepares to face Portugal in a crucial UEFA Nations League clash, questions linger over their recent form.
After suffering a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Croatia last month, Poland will look to bounce back from a run of just one win in their last five matches (D1, L3).
This stretch includes a frustrating group stage exit from Euro 2024, putting added pressure on manager Michał Probierz, who had hoped for a stronger start to his tenure.
Historically, Poland has never dropped out of League A, making it imperative that they secure points against a formidable opponent.

'Baby coming soon' - Erling Haaland confirms he is set to be a father after setting national record for Norway
Erling Haaland became the all-time scorer for Norway with a superb brace against Slovenia and he celebrated the milestone by annoucing that he is set to become a dad.
However, their recent head-to-head record against Portugal, which features five matches without a victory (D3, L2), adds to the challenge.
On the other side, Portugal have started the UNL campaign in strong fashion under manager Roberto Martínez, notching back-to-back 2-1 victories against Croatia and Scotland.
This solid start has placed them at the top of Group A1, with their defense showing resilience by conceding no more than a single goal in seven of their last eight matches (W6, L2).

'It was killing me' - Sunderland striker opens up about his struggles with alcohol addiction
Aaron Connolly has opened up about his battle with the booze that has seen his career go down.
However, their away form remains a concern; their last away match in this competition was a convincing 4-0 victory over the Czech Republic more than two years ago.
A surprise 2-0 defeat to Slovenia in a friendly earlier this year serves as a reminder that they cannot afford to be complacent.
Other notable matches include the clash between Croatia and Scotland. Scotland lost both of their first two matches and will be keen to steal points from Croatia who currently sit second in group 1 of League A.
