Poland will take on Scotland as part of the final round of UEFA Nations League fixtures on Monday, 18 November.
The match has plenty riding on it after Scotland's shock win over Croatia earlier in the week. Another win here for Steve Clarke's men would see them earn themselves a playoff to remain in League A for the next edition of the Nations League.
Poland, meanwhile, need to just draw the match to stay above Scotland thanks to their win at Hampden Park earlier in the campaign.
As part of our latest round of Nations League betting tips, here is our Poland vs Scotland prediction.

Poland preview: Stumbling over the line
Poland's Nations League campaign got off to the best possible start back in September when they defeated Scotland at Hampden Park but it has been all downhill since. They have only picked up another point in the four matches since that triumph so their will be plenty of doubt in the Polish camp ahead of this one.
Predicted lineup: Bulka (GK), Piatkowski, Bednarek, Kiwior, Bereszynski, Zielinski, Urbanski, Szymanski, Zalewski, Swiderski, Piatek

Scotland preview: An deserved lifeline
Despite only being on four points, Scotland have actually impressed during the Nations League. They deserved more from their two matches against Portugal and were well worthy of their win on Friday night against a strong and experienced Croatian side. They now have a chance to pick up a huge away win and they will be bang up for it.
Predicted lineup: Gordon (GK), Ralston, Souttar, Hanley, Robertson, Gilmour, McLean, Doak, McTominay, Christie, Dykes

Player to watch: Scott McTominay
Scott McTominay is having an excellent season for both club and country and the Napoli midfielder comes into this one with a swagger. McTominay is performing at a brilliant level in Serie A and is a big reason why Napoli are currently top of the league. As ever, goals from midfield are a big part of his game and it wouldn't be a shock to see him get on the scoresheet again on Monday.
