We have reached the final round of fixtures in Nations League A, Group 4 and on the 25th of September we have a meeting between Wales and Poland.
The match will be played at the Cardiff City Stadium and the hosts begin the game bottom of the group on 1 point while the visitors are in 3rd place on 4 points.
Kevin De Bruyne proved to be the difference between @Cymru and Belgium in Brussels as he contributed a goal and an assist for his team in a 2-1 victory that leaves Rob Page's side needing nothing less than a victory against Poland on Sunday.🏴🇵🇱 https://t.co/JXQ7yvBZNM— FA WALES (@FAWales) September 22, 2022

Wales come into the match on the back of a 2-1 loss at Belgium on Thursday night. Belgium took an early lead and doubled their advantage in the 37th minute.
Despite being under pressure for much of the game, Wales got a goal back in the 50th minute but could not score the equaliser in the time that remained.
That result means Wales have failed to win any of their last 4 fixtures, all of which have been in the Nations League. There have been defeats against Netherlands home and away plus away to Belgium. Wales picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at home against Belgium.
In terms of the Nations League, Wales have found life tough in League A and have yet to win a game in the group.
However, they are tough to beat at home and Wales are undefeated in 5 of their 7 home Nations League matches. Trends show both teams have scored in each of their last 3 home Nations League games.
Poland make the trip to Cardiff on the back of a 2-0 home defeat by Netherlands on Thursday. Having opened the scoring in the 13th minute, Netherlands scored their second goal on the hour mark and Poland could not get back into the game. Just a point from that match would have secured Poland’s place in Nations League A.
Poland have failed to win any of their 4 most recent Nations League games. They have lost home and away to Belgium and at home to Netherlands. Poland did pick up a point thanks to a 2-2 draw in Netherlands and their only victory in the group came at home against Wales in a 2-1 win.
Trends show Poland have won only 1 of their 7 away Nations League matches. They have lost 3 of their last 5 Nations League games on the road and both teams have scored in 3 of their last 4 away trips.
Team news and Wales could start with Gareth Bale, who was on the bench on Thursday. Ben Davies, Joe Allen, Aaron Ramsey, and Harry Wilson are all injured.
Poland will call upon Robert Lewandowski in attack and he could be joined by Arkadiusz Milik, who was on the bench last time out.
Wales must go for the win to have any chance of staying in Nations League A and that should make for an exciting game. We expect to see goals for both teams in a closely matched game, which could end in a draw.
