Scotland and Poland will both be looking to get their Nations League Group 1 campaigns off to a winning start when they meet in Glasgow's Mount Florida area on Thursday night.
The hosts enjoyed a memorable campaign in the last Nations League group stage. Scotland finished top of League B Group 1 ahead of Ukraine, Ireland and Armenia and the Tartan Army lost just one of their six matches. They followed up that form by qualifying for Euro 2024, but things didn't end well as Steve Clarke's side picked up just one point from a possible nine at the Euro finals in Germany.
Speaking of the Euros, Poland didn't give their supporters much to celebrate either, as the Eagles failed to win any of their three Group Stage games. They suffered two defeats and conceded an average of two goals per game; something head coach Micha? Probierz will be keen to change in the Nations League.
Scotland vs Poland Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Scotland go into this week's fixture having failed to win four straight but they rarely fail to impress in the final third. The Tartan Army have found the back of the net in four of their last five matches and failed to keep a clean sheet in the same number of games.
Poland's recent games have also been headline-grabbing for their entertainment value. There have been goals at both ends in each of the visitors' last five matches, with Robert Lewandowski and co netting more than once in two of them.

Poland Head Coach Micha? Probierz will continue to rely on the services of Robert Lewandowski who is the nation’s most-capped player and all-time top scorer.
Lewandowski has had a flying start to the 2024-25 La Liga campaign, registering four goals and one assist in four matches and will be looking to maintain that form in the Nations League.
