Poland Away Record

Not really that impressive in recent years.

I read that they’ve won two of their last ten away games. One of them was against the Faroe Islands.

The other was against us.

Also Poland have only beaten us by the odd goal in our last 7 defeats to them .... so never get a better chance to beat them..... in fact pundits say we are favourites to win.

It’s all about stopping Lewandowski and Zielinski. Keep them quiet and we should win.

Don't usually advocate man 2 man but maybe this is just whats needed ?

Poland do not travel well, and their 1-0 win at the Cardiff City Stadium in September 2022 was one of only two away from home since October 2020. The other was against the Faroe Islands.

It may sound harsh, but defeat would represent failure for Page. Page’s relationship with Welsh FA chief executive Noel Mooney has been strained ever since Mooney hinted last autumn that he could make a change if Wales missed out on Euro 2024.

Page is well liked by the players but the 49-year-old — who has two years to run on his contract — has also had the rub of the green at crucial moments. He inherited the side in the post-Giggs era and they were extremely lucky to squeeze past Ukraine in the play-off for Qatar 2022 — and were awful at the finals. Then a third-place finish was rewarded with two home play-offs and if Wales do reach Germany, they will fancy their chances of making the last 16.

The winners on Tuesday will go into Group D, alongside France, the Netherlands and Austria. Victory over Austria might be enough to take Wales into the knockout stages as one of the best third-placed teams.

Wales supporters will have been pleased to hear Page so bullish. ‘We are in a healthy position because we’ve got everybody playing regularly for their clubs,’ said Page. ‘The gap in the World Cup play-offs in 2022 [between the Austria semi-final in March and Ukraine final in June] suited us because we had senior players who weren’t playing club football, in Aaron [Ramsey], in Gareth [Bale]. That gap helped us. If it had been four or five days later, we might have struggled a bit.

‘Now we’re in a different position because we’ve got a younger squad, a fitter squad, we’ve got players who are playing regularly. Poland will be a tough game and we respect what they’re all about.
