Mexico vs Poland: Numbers you need to know before their 2022 FIFA World Cup encounter

Poland are winless in their last five matches against Mexico in all competitions and have suffered three defeats. Mexico have conceded only three goals in these five games and kept a clean sheet in their previous match against the Poles.

Robert Lewandowski has scored an impressive 76 goals in his 134 appearances on the international stage. The Barcelona striker is Poland's most prolific goalscorer of all time but did fail to find the back of the net at the 2018 World Cup.

With nine goals and four assists, Lewandowski was the most effective contributor to Poland's qualification fortunes. The striker also scored twice as many goals as their second-best player during their qualification campaign and remains key to Poland's chances.

Mexican veteran Andres Guardado could join an exclusive club of footballers this week. The midfielder will play his fifth World Cup campaign this year and will join Antonio Carbajal, Rafael Marquez and Lothar Matthaus as the only players to have achieved the feat.
