On March 22nd at 3:45 AM Beijing Time, Poland hosts Estonia in a UEFA Euro Qualifying playoff match. The two teams meet again after a 12-year gap, with Poland seeking to utilize home advantage and secure advancement to the next round.
Poland is currently ranked 31st in FIFA, while Estonia stands at 122nd, indicating a significant disparity in strength between the two nations.
In their latest national team squad, Poland boasts stars such as Lewandowski and Szczesny. Lewandowski, in particular, has been in exceptional form, leading Barcelona to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals after a four-year absence. Estonia, on the other hand, lacks prominent players, with veteran captain Vassiljev leading the training camp. Their most recognizable player might be goalkeeper Karl Hein, who is a backup at Arsenal.
During the group stage of the qualifiers, Poland shared a group with Albania, Czech Republic, Moldova, and Faroe Islands, finishing third with a record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, scoring 10 goals and conceding the same number. Meanwhile, Estonia finished last in their group with one draw and seven losses, advancing to the playoffs due to their UEFA Nations League performance. They scored only two goals while conceding 22.
Poland has remained unbeaten in its last four matches, including a 2-0 victory over Latvia in a friendly following three unbeaten group games. Playing at home, Poland hasn’t lost in over a year, recording a 5-2-0 record in their last seven matches.
Estonia is on an 11-match winless streak, with their last victory dating back to a 1-0 triumph over Finland in a January 2022 friendly. Away from home, their last victory was a 4-0 win over San Marino in September 2022.
The two teams have clashed six times before, with Poland securing five victories and one defeat. Their lone loss came in their most recent encounter, a 1-0 defeat in a friendly match in August 2012. This upcoming fixture, however, carries more weight as a knockout contest, and Poland will undoubtedly give their all to secure victory.
