Poland did not succeed in its goal of moving up the League of Nations table after losing to Bosnia and Herzegovina, 0-1, in the recently concluded fourth matchday of the tournament. This defeat resulted in a tighter match for Biało-Czerwoni who now remain in third place in their group. Before entering the match against Bosnia, Poland held the third place and three points behind the leader, Sweden. On this same matchday, Sweden secured a 1-0 win over Romania thanks to an early goal by Viktor Gyökeres in the 13th minute. With this win, Sweden rose to 10 points, while Bosnia remained in second place with eight points. Meanwhile, Poland's gap from the highest position is six points. The situation of the Polish national team is difficult when it comes to the remaining two games. In order for them to secure second place in the group and hope for a place in the draw, they need to win the remaining two matches: first, in Romania on November 14, and second, in their home game against Sweden on November 17. In addition, they also have to hope that Bosnia will not bring home even two points in the away games against Sweden and the home fixture against Romania.

The team led by Jan Bednarek faces a big challenge, because in the current format of the League of Nations, today's wins and points have a big impact on the ranking and the next stages. The group winners of each division advance to the higher levels, while the second place can enter the playoffs against the opposite place in the higher division. On the other hand, Romania remains scoreless at the bottom of the group. As a result, Poland are still backed by a slim hope with two matches remaining, but they will need to perform and pray that Bosnia fall short when it comes to points. Every minute of Poland's last two matches is expected to be tight and crucial to keep their Nations League battle alive this year.

What's next

To keep hopes of promotion to the League of Nations alive, Poland need to win their last two matches against Romania and Sweden. They also have to hope that Bosnia do not pick up a point in their remaining games, which increases the pressure in the upcoming matches.
