Poland kicked off their maiden UEFA Nations League campaign with an impressive 1-1 draw in Italy. Piotr Zielinski opened the scoring for the visitors just before half-time before Jorginho’s penalty brought the Azzurri level. A 1-1 draw followed in an international friendly against the Republic of Ireland, a result that leaves The Eagles with just one victory in their last five fixtures - a 1-0 win over Japan at the FIFA World Cup in June.

European champions Portugal head into Thursday’s clash off the back of a 1-0 win against Italy in their opening Nations League encounter. A Selecao Das Quinas lead Group G after Andre Silva’s second-half strike was enough to separate the sides in September. Portugal however have struggled for goals in 2018 and have not scored more than one in a game since their 3-3 draw with Spain at the World Cup – a run of five matches.
