Poland is targeting victory at home to Moldova in the Euro 2024 qualifying Group E match at the Narowowy Stadium, Monday, October 16 in the morning WIB. The victory in that match allowed Poland to hunt Albania.

Poland had valuable capital before serving Moldova. A 2-0 win over Kep. Faroe has boosted the confidence of the players.

The reason is, Poland does need a win to keep its chances of qualifying for the finals.

The competition in the group, beyond expectations, is tighter. Albania, who became a dark horse, actually managed to disrupt the feud between Poland and Rep. Czech.

How not, Albania even managed to top the standings with 13 points. They, in fact, only need one more win to leave for Germany.

Meanwhile, Poland, who is in second place, is fighting for tickets with the Czechs. Currently Poland has nine points. A one-point lead from the Czechs who are in third place. But the Czechs still have one game left.

With an uncomfortable position due to a serious threat from the Czechs, Poland must win a crucial match against Moldova.

The problem is, Poland lost its flagship striker Robert Lewandowski with an ankle injury. The injury made Poland's all-time top scorer have to pull over.

This makes coach Michal Probierz think hard about finding a solution to the front line. Against Faroe, the former coach of Poland U-21 who replaced Fernando Santos fielded Juventus striker Arkadiusz Milik.

Only, Milik failed to show his sharpness and was replaced by Adam Buksa who then scored the second goal and solidified Poland's victory.

The sharpness of Milik which decreased to a problem when the team lost Lewandowski. Of Poland's 11 matches, he scored only one goal.

In the match against Moldova, Buksa was also rewarded with a starter to contribute goals. He received support from second striker Napoli Piotr Zielinski.

Under the bar, goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny remains the first choice. The Juve goalkeeper is still under guard from trio defender Tomasz Kedziora, Jakub Kiwior, and Patryk Peda.

Moldova is actually the unseeded team in the group. However, they are also able to compete with other teams. Despite being ranked fourth, Moldova has eight points.

This shows that Moldova still has a chance to qualify for Germany. If you make a surprise by beating the hosts, the map of competition in the group can change. They also hope that Faroe can block the Czech rate.

In this match, coach Serghei Clescenco still relies on defender Arthur Craciun who gets a red card in the trial against Sweden. Meanwhile, striker Ion Nicolaescu will spearhead.

Not much change was made by Clescenco in this important match. However, he hopes the team can make a surprise at Poland's home.

Forecast of the Lineup of Polish Players (3-4-2-1): Szczesny; Kedziora, Kiwior, Peda; Cash, D. Szymanski, Slisz, Frankowski; S. Szymanski, Zielinski; Buksa

Moldova (5-3-1): Railean; Revenco, Posman, Craciun, Marandici, Reabciuk; Platica, Baboglo, Moypan; Rata; Nicolaescu
