Scotland vs. Poland prediction
With both teams missing some key players, this match is likely to be a tight and competitive contest. The last three encounters between Scotland and Poland have all ended in draws.
Scotland have gone four games without a win, while Poland are winless in their last three matches, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last four across all competitions. But Poland have a quality striker in Lewandowski, which gives them the edge.
Prediction: Scotland 0-1 Poland
