Poland have won five of their last six home games
Albania have won just one of their last 12 matches against Poland
Recommended bet: Poland to win
Poland qualified for the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024 via the play-off route and they will lean on those experiences as they prepare to take on Albania at Stadion Narodowy in Warsaw.
Participation at the big tournaments is expected of Poland, who reached the round of 16 at Qatar 2022.
And they had a reasonably solid campaign in qualifying Group G, finishing three points below first-placed Netherlands.
Poland registered a pair of 1-1 draws against the Oranje and will fancy their chances against Albania, who have beaten them just twice in 15 previous meetings.
However, Albania won the last of those matches, securing a 2-0 success on the road to qualification for Euro 2024.
They were drawn alongside England and Serbia in World Cup qualifying Group K and finished a solid second, 10 points adrift of Thomas Tuchel's side, despite scoring just seven goals across their eight matches.

Prediction
Poland has a habit of coming good in high-stakes qualification matches and should have too much firepower for Albania in Warsaw.
The Eagles continue to rely heavily on 37-year-old star striker Lewandowski, who remains a class act despite passing the peak of his powers.
Lewandowski netted twice for his club, Barcelona, in a 7-2 demolition of Newcastle earlier this month, and he could make the difference against Albania, who are struggling to score enough goals.
The Albanians reached the play-offs despite failing to score in three of eight Group K fixtures.
Sylvinho's side are almost always competitive, but they lack a killer instinct in front of goal, and that may cost them in a match of fine margins.
