Poland Team News, Updates, and Facts
Team News
Adam Nawalka is unable to use striker Arkadiusz Milik and right back Lukasz Piszczek due to injury concerns. Robert Lewandowski is out of this friendly as they have decided to rest him from further injury.
Key Man
With Lewandowski officially out now, the Poles will need to look elsewhere for goals. If there is one bad thing about having the Bayern man in your team, it's the fact that you tend to over rely upon him. Now, they have a golden opportunity to look for options elsewhere. One such man is winger Kamil Grosicki. He came into Hull City last season and impressed with his great wing play, creating chances with dribbles and crosses from the left, and he could be a real nightmare on the counter against a possession-loving Mexico.
Team Form
Poland have a draw, three wins, and a loss in their last five matches:
0-0 home draw vs Uruguay (Friendlies)
4-2 home win vs Montenegro
1-6 win at Armenia
3-0 home vs Kazakhstan
4-0 loss at Denmark
Poland Predicted Starting Line-up
Expected Line-up: 3-4-3
Mexico Team News, Updates, and Facts
Team News
Juan Carlos Osorio is likely to continue with his controversial rotation policy for this match.
Key Man
Whenever a team like Mexico decides not to play a striker like Chicharito, there are some heads being scratched instantly. But there is at least a brilliant striker in his own right that can take his place for Mexico. That man is Raul Jimenez, who is a different kind of striker. Like Jared Borgetti, he's good in the air and stronger in hold up play, and the Benfica man can be a real threat for them against the Poles as they look to break down a tough defense that could be packed in a little bit.
Team Form
Mexico have two draws, a loss, and two wins in their last five matches:
3-3 draw at Belgium (Friendlies)
3-2 loss vs Honduras
3-1 home win vs Trinidad & Tobago
1-1 draw at Costa Rica
1-0 home win vs Panama
Mexico Predicted Starting Line-up
Expected Line-up: 4-3-3
