Head coach Jan Urban has a full squad at his disposal, including captain Robert Lewandowski, who at 37 years old carries 88 international goals into this matchup.

Albania is ranked 66th but arrives in Warsaw with a genuine case for an upset after finishing second in Group K behind England, conceding just five goals across the entire qualifying campaign.
Sylvinho has built Albania into one of Europe’s stingiest defenses, and midfielder Kristjan Asllani scored key goals against Latvia and Andorra to keep this qualifying run alive. A first-ever World Cup appearance is on the line for Albania, giving it every reason to scrap for 90 minutes.

Poland vs. Albania prediction, pick
Poland’s home record in qualifying is the biggest factor here, and a packed PGE Narodowy should be enough to edge past a tough Albanian side. Albania’s defense will make this hard, but Poland has too much quality up front to be held at home with this much at stake.
Prediction: Poland 2, Albania 0
