They have won seven out of the last ten matches. They are placed number one in the qualification round at the moment winning both the matches they have played quite comprehensively. They have also kept clean sheets in both matches. Qualification is not a matter of concern of the English but they should be just worried about their performance in the world cups and with the team strength, they possess they should have won at least a couple of World Cups in the process.

Poland Form & Team News

Poland are the 19th ranked team in the FIFA rankings. The polish have given the world a prodigy in Robert Lewandoski but as a team, they have more or less compromised on certain aspects of team strength and have relied heavily on the Bayern Star to deliver every time he sets foot on the field which doesn’t augur well for the team. They are placed in the third position in Qualification Group I with four points from two games winning one and drawing one in the process. They are yet to lose but given only the top two teams qualify, Poland might need to bring their A-game against leaders England in the next game.
