The second round of matches in the 2022 FIFA World Cup sees Poland and Saudi Arabia lock horns at the Education City Stadium in their penultimate Group C involvement.
Fresh off the back of an impressive 2-1 win over Argentina, Herve Renard's men set out to confirm their place in the knockout stages of football's biggest tournament.
On the other hand, Poland had to make do with a point in their curtain-raiser against Mexico, and anything less than a victory this weekend could leave them on the brink of elimination.
Here, Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Poland and Saudi Arabia compare against each other ahead of the contest.
