Poland have enjoyed the better record in this fixture. The teams have met four times in competitive and friendly matches since 2010, with Poland winning three and one ending in a draw. Their two most recent meetings came in the 2020 Nations League, when Poland won 2-1 in Sarajevo before recording a convincing 3-0 victory in Warsaw.
Poland team overview
Poland have endured an inconsistent period since failing to qualify for the World Cup, including a 3-2 away defeat to Sweden in the qualification play-off final. This summer, they drew 2-2 with Nigeria after losing 2-0 to Ukraine, extending their winless streak to three matches.
Jan Urban has named a squad containing considerable experience, including Robert Lewandowski, Piotr Zieliński, Nicola Zalewski, Jakub Kiwior and Matty Cash.
However, Poland have suffered several injury-related absences. Adrian Benedyczak, Kamil Grabara and Filip Rózga have withdrawn from the squad because of injuries, with Bartłomiej Drągowski and Marcel Reguła called up as replacements. Oskar Pietuszewski is also unavailable, while Jan Bednarek is listed as suspended for the fixture.

Bosnia and Herzegovina team overview
Bosnia and Herzegovina qualified for their second-ever World Cup after finishing second in European qualifying Group H with five wins, but their World Cup campaign produced mixed results.
Bosnia drew with Panama and Canada, lost 4-1 to Switzerland, defeated Qatar 3-1 and subsequently lost 2-0 to the United States in the knockout round.
Coach Sergej Barbarez has selected 24 players for the Nations League campaign. He acknowledged that injuries, limited playing time and recent club changes created difficulties when selecting the squad. Džeko remains the focal point of the attack, having entered the international window as Bosnia's record scorer with 73 goals.

Prediction
Poland have conceded in each of their last six matches, while Bosnia have also struggled to keep clean sheets consistently. That combination points towards a competitive game with opportunities at both ends.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score (BTTS).
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- Poland have seen BTTS in five of their last six matches, including 2-2 against Nigeria and 3-2 against Sweden.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina have scored in four of their last five matches, including against Canada, Switzerland and Qatar, while conceding in four of those five.
- Poland’s recent defensive record is vulnerable, with 10 goals conceded in their last five matches, while Bosnia have conceded nine in their last five.
