For starters, Poland enter their latest fixture fresh from a 2-2 draw against group leaders Netherlands. Czeslaw Michniewicz’s team were 2-0 up until the 50th minute mark but goals from Davy Klaassen and Denzel Dumfries denied Poland a first win over the Oranje since 1979.
Belgium, on the other hand, were held to a 1-1 stalemate by Wales. After Youri Tielemans gave the Red Devils the lead in the 54th minute, Brennan Johnson strike in the 86th minute rescued the Dragons who registered a second consecutive draw across all competitions against Roberto Martinez’s team.
