England returned to Wembley with a resounding win after their disappointment against Italy in the Euro 2020 final, thrashing Andorra 4-0 in the fifth round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. They now head to their toughest game of Group I, when they travel to Poland in the sixth round. Hosts Poland are second in the group with 10 points while England top with 15. Poland are coming from a 7-1 win over San Marino, a game in which Adam Buksa scored three. They are the highest scoring team in this group with 17 goals but have conceded seven goals, which doesn’t make them a very great side defensively. In their last five matches, Poland have scored 15 goals; they’ve scored in each of the five matches but have no clean sheet. Robert Lewandowski missed out as Poland lost 2-1 to England in their last meeting. He is back and firing, and with six goals in the last four matches for Poland, he remains a big threat for England. Poland are winless in their last 17 matches against England and as they look to end the bad run, Lewandowski will attract a lot of focus.

Poland have Lewandowski, England have Harry Kane; both proven goal scorers and skipper of their national team and this already seems like it will be a battle of the two captains. Kane was on the mark for the fifth time in five games as England whacked Andorra 4-0 at Wembley, though Jesse Lingard scored two to steal the limelight. Going to the Poland game, England have no loss in 15 matches, winning 13. They have scored in each of their last five matches, winning four, with the only disappointment coming in the loss on post match penalties against Italy in the Euro 2020 final. The Three Lions have scored two or more goals in four of their last five matches, and each of the four has produced over 2.5 goals. In the last five matches, just like Poland, they have managed 15 goals.
