Our prediction for this match:
Poland will be looking to put an end to their four-game winless run in all competitions when they host Czech Republic at their Stadion Energa Gdansk on Thursday afternoon. Poland have been struggling in the UEFA Nations League, with the team picking up only one point from possible nine, but they are still seen as favourites to win the friendly against Czech Republic. The Poles are eager to regain a much-needed confidence and seeing that Bayern Munchen attacker is likely to lead the line for the hosts, we are tempted to put our money on Jerzy Brzeczek’s troops. The Czechs, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Ukraine, but seeing that they have been struggling on the travels of late, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed from the trip to Gdansk.
Highlighted Player (Grzegorz Krychowiak):

Born on 29 January 1990, Grzegorz Krychowiak began his professional career at Bordeaux, but having failed to be given a proper chance to impress by les Girondins, he instead gained valuable first team experience during loan spells with Reims and Nantes. Reims decided to purchase his contract in 2012 and that proved a great decision as the Polish midfielder impressed in two Ligue 1 seasons, scoring 8 goals in 70 appearances to secure a lucrative move to Sevilla.
Krychowiak didn’t need a lot of time to prove his worth in Spanish La Liga as he quickly developed into one of the league’s best central midfielders, while helping los Rojiblancos defend the Europa League trophy in 2014/2015. Numerous top clubs have been casting admiring glances his way and it is just a matter of time before the midfielder leaves his current employers for greener pastures.
Krychowiak needed some time to become an indispensable member of the Poland national team, but he has since grown into a genuine leader and is now among the first names on the team sheet.
Highlighted Team (Czech Republic):

Czech Republic national team is the natural successor of the Czechoslovakia side that dominated world football during the 20th century, winning one European Championship trophy and coming second at 1934 and 1962 World Cups. After the separation of the country in 1992, Czech Republic continued the proud tradition by qualifying for each of the next six European Championship finals, losing to Germany in the final of the 1996 tournament.
The Czechs also reached the last eight at the 2012 finals, but their World Cup record of late is pretty disappointing. Since separating from Slovakia, Czech Republic only qualified for one of five World Cup finals. The 1996 generation, featuring players like Pavel Nedved, Karel Poborsky and Patrik Berger, will forever remained etched in the fans’ memory, while the likes of Milan Baros, Jan Koller, Petr Cech and Tomas Rosicky are some of the other notable footballers.
Highly rated goalkeeper Petr Cech is the team’s most capped player, whereas towering forward Jan Koller tops the goalscoring charts with 55 strikes in 91 games.
