Latest information on the Poland vs Malta squad
Poland's coach Michal Probierz often favors a 3-5-2 formation, with star player Robert Lewandowski playing as the lone striker, possibly supported by Panathinaikos forward Karol Swiderski.
After defender Sebastian Walukiewicz (Torino) and winger Nicola Zalewski (Inter Milan) withdrew from the squad due to injury, regular starters like Pawel Dawidowicz and vice-captain Piotr Zielinski were also absent from the match against Lithuania.
Probierz recently confirmed that Bologna goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski will be the first-choice custodian, meaning Bartlomiej Dragowski and Marcin Bulka will have to settle for the bench.
On the Maltese side, they were forced to make at least one change to the lineup that had caused Finland trouble on Friday, when Kurt Shaw was sent off late in the game and will serve a suspension.
It is highly likely that either Enrico Pepe or former Rangers defender Myles Beerman will be chosen to fill the defensive position, playing in front of veteran goalkeeper Henry Bonello. Up front, Reims striker Teddy Teuma will continue to link the midfield and attack.
Latest predicted lineups for Poland vs Malta
Poland:

Latest football match prediction: Poland vs Malta
After concluding their most recent UEFA Nations League campaign with a defeat to Scotland – which cost them a place in the top division – Poland were determined to get off to a good start in their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign last Friday.

Hosting Lithuania at Stadion Narodowy, they controlled possession for much of the game and unleashed 24 shots, but it was only thanks to Robert Lewandowski's decisive goal in the 81st minute that they were able to secure a narrow victory.
On their journey 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 games is certainly a huge relief for coach Michal Probierz.
However, he will be expecting an easier victory next Monday, as Poland looks toward tougher challenges in the fall, following their summer friendly against Moldova.
Finland is seen as the main contender for a 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 the Nations League quarter-final match between the two teams.
As a team that has reached the World Cup semi-finals twice and has participated in four of the last six World Cups – including the two most recent ones – securing second place in their group should clearly be the minimum objective for the current generation of Polish players.
While the home team had a less than convincing start on Monday, Malta exceeded expectations by nearly causing an upset against Finland in their opening match.
Under the guidance of new coach Emilio De Leo – a long-time assistant to the late coach Sinisa Mihajlovic at several Serie A clubs – the Malta national team fought valiantly at the Ta' Qali stadium, although they ultimately lost 0-1.
Despite scoring only two goals in four matches in last year's Nations League, Malta still finished second in League D and secured two home wins.
However, this small island nation's team will now return to Poland for the first time since 1981 – when they lost 0-6 in a World Cup qualifying match – with a worrying away record.
Malta have lost three of their last four away games, conceding 13 goals, so they may be heading into Warsaw with a lot of apprehension.
