Comments and predictions for Poland vs Malta: Venting anger on the away team

Latest Poland vs Malta team information

Poland coach Michal Probierz often favors a 3-5-2 formation, with star man Robert Lewandowski playing up front, possibly supported by Panathinaikos striker Karol Swiderski.

After defender Sebastian Walukiewicz (Torino) and winger Nicola Zalewski (Inter Milan) withdrew from the team due to injury, regular starters Pawel Dawidowicz and vice-captain Piotr Zielinski also did not participate in the match against Lithuania.

Probierz recently confirmed that Bologna goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski will be the first choice in goal, so Bartlomiej Dragowski and Marcin Bulka will have to accept being on the bench.

For Malta, they were forced to make at least one change to the line-up that troubled Finland on Friday, with Kurt Shaw being sent off late in the game and serving a suspension.

Enrico Pepe or former Rangers defender Myles Beerman are likely to be selected to fill the defensive position, playing in front of veteran goalkeeper Henry Bonello. Up front, Reims striker Teddy Teuma will continue to be the link between midfield and attack.

Latest expected lineup for Poland vs Malta

Poland:

Skorupski; Wieteska, Bednarek, Kiwior; Cash, Urbanski, Moder, Szymanski, Frankowski; Swiderski, Lewandowski

Malta:

Bonello; Pepe, Carragher, Muscat; J. Mbong, Guillaumier, Satariano, Camenzuli; Teuma, Nwoko; P. Mbong

Latest football commentary Poland vs Malta

After ending their most recent UEFA Nations League campaign with defeat to Scotland – which cost them their place in the top tier of the competition – Poland were determined to get off to a flying start in their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign on Friday.

Hosting Lithuania at Stadion Narodowy, they controlled most of the ball and had 24 shots, but it was thanks to Robert Lewandowski's decisive strike in the 81st minute that they were able to win narrowly.

On their way to relegation from League A in the Nations League, the White Eagles conceded 16 goals in 6 matches. Therefore, keeping a clean sheet for the first time in 12 matches is certainly a big relief for coach Michal Probierz.

However, he will be hoping for an easier win next Monday, as Poland look towards tougher challenges in the autumn, following a summer friendly with Moldova.

Finland are seen as the main contenders for the play-off spot in Group G, while the top spot is likely to go to either the Netherlands or Spain – depending on the outcome of their Nations League quarter-final tie.

As a two-time World Cup semi-finalist and a team that has appeared in four of the last six World Cups – including the last two – finishing second in the group should clearly be the minimum target for Poland's current generation.

While the home team on Monday had a less than convincing start, Malta exceeded expectations when they almost caused a surprise against Finland in their opening match.

Under the guidance of new coach Emilio De Leo – a long-time assistant to the late Sinisa Mihajlovic at several Serie A clubs – the Maltese team fought back at Ta' Qali Stadium, although they eventually lost 0-1.

Despite scoring just two goals in four games in last year's Nations League, Malta still finished second in League D and won two home games.

However, the small island nation will now return to Poland for the first time since 1981 – when they lost 0-6 in a World Cup qualifier – with a worrying away record.

Malta have lost three of their last four away games, conceding 13 goals, so they will likely step into Warsaw with plenty of trepidation.
