Poland vs Scottland

Home - Poland
Last away matches - W-D-L

Poland stunned the World Champions Germany with a first ever win against their neighbours on Saturday evening. Arkadiusz Milik and Sebastian Mila scored the goals in a 2-0 win, but the result masked what was a backs-to-the-wall performance from the Poles. The hosts commanded just 33% of possession and had only five shots on goal in comparison to Germany's 29, while the corner count was 6-0 in favour of Joachim Löw's side.Nevertheless, Poland sit pretty atop of the Group D table, having previously beaten Gibraltar 7-0 in their opening group game. Robert Lewandowski scored four goals in that thumping of the part-timers and in doing so took his international tally to 23 goals. He has four goals for Bayern Munich so far this season, including a brace in his most recent outing against Hannover.Manager Adam Nawałka has incredibly capped 70 players since taking over as the national team manager less than a year ago. However, the winning formula that he found at the weekend, be it by luck or judgment, is sure to be one that he'd prefer to stick with a little longer now.

Scottish delight about the three points earned against Georgia at the weekend was tempered somewhat by the result in Warsaw - the Scots were hoping that the Germans would dominate the group and leave it for the rest of them to battle it out for second place.But they shouldn't, and won't, get too downbeat about it. The unflattering 1-0 result against Georgia was yet another step in the right direction for this improving Scottish team with the opening hour in particular producing some exciting and attacking football. Gordon Strachan even went as far as to describe it as "the best hour, 65 minutes that we've had as a football team since I've been here".Scotland have now won five and lost just one of their last eight games, and have kept five clean sheets during that period. Strachan's men have also lost only one of their last five away games, with that defeat coming in Germany in the opening match of this campaign.
