Poland and Scotland are set to clash in a crucial match as both teams aim to avoid relegation in the Nations League.
Poland has had a rocky tournament, currently sitting third in Group A with four points after five games, tied with Scotland at the bottom of the group and three points behind Croatia.
If they fail to win or draw on Monday, Poland risks relegation to League B.
On the other hand, Scotland also finds itself at the bottom of the group, with their recent 1-0 win against Croatia providing little consolation. They have four points from five matches, making this upcoming showdown vital for both teams’ survival.
