Wales will have a home advantage for this decisive game. They have qualified for both of the last two European Championships and could make it to three in a row this Tuesday.

Wales vs Poland Team News
Wales manager Robert Page has made some changes to the squad against Finland. Luton captain Tom Lockyer has suffered a cardiac arrest in December and his future with football remains uncertain. Wycombe Wanderers’ Joe Low and Swansea City’s Ben Cabango have also been pulled out of the squad. Aaron Ramsey has recovered from his injury and has been a key player for his country over the past decade.
Poland, on the other hand, will be without Juventus striker Arkadiusz Milik who has sustained an adductor injury and could be sidelined for two weeks. Robert Lewandowski is expected to lead the line with Adam Buksa and Krzysztof Piatek fighting for the right-wing role.

Wales vs Poland Prediction
While both sides have struggled to qualify for the UEFA 2024 Euros, Wales will have a better chance in the play-offs. Wales are unbeaten in their last seven matches under Rob Page across all competitions. But Wales were beaten 1-0 in Cardiff the last time they met Poland in the Nations League.
Poland, meanwhile, have struggled in recent times and have lost their three away matches before their 2-0 win over the Faroe Islands. Manager Fernando Santos has yet to taste a defeat as Poland’s boss since he has taken charge of the team in the last five matches.
Both teams are favorites to book their place in the Euro 2024 in Germany and we can expect an enthralling contest as they battle in the European play-off final.
