Belgium vs Poland prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Nations League 2022-23

Belgium are back in action with another important UEFA Nations League fixture, this time against Poland on Wednesday, 8 June. Both teams have been inconsistent this year and have a point to prove this week.

Poland, who are in second place in Group 4, have been fairly impressive so far in the competition. They edged out Wales 2-1 last weekend and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result on Wednesday.

Belgium, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the group, having endured a dismal campaign so far. The Red Devils suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Netherlands in their previous game and will be desperate to bounce back.
