Group B4 after four matchdays

The table below is our own tally of points and goals from the results of the four matchdays played, as published by UEFA. It is not a copy of the UEFA table, and the order here is by points only.

Results according to UEFA, home team first:

The last match against Romania

The two sides have already met in this edition. Poland won at home on 2 October, 6:0, and Romania is the only team in the group that has not yet scored a point. It was the heaviest of Romania’s four defeats in this edition, and the goal difference of 3:13 shows that Romania conceded more than three goals per match on average (our calculation).

What Poland is playing for in the last two matches

After Saturday’s match there is one matchday left: on Tuesday 17 November Poland hosts Sweden, and Bosnia and Herzegovina play Romania. That leaves six points per team to win. Our calculation, not the UEFA table: Poland can finish the group with at most ten points, and Sweden already has ten. Head coach Jan Urban said when announcing the squad that “on paper everything is still possible” (our translation from the Polish), but that Poland does not depend on itself alone.

The November squad

According to the PZPN squad page, the squad has 25 players, six of them without a cap, and the three goalkeepers have four caps between them, all won by Bartłomiej Drągowski. At the time of checking, on 10 November, UEFA had not yet published the starting line-ups.
