Poland have been very impressive in the qualification campaign so far and are currently unbeaten in the four matches they have played, thus landing them the top spot in Group D. The White Eagles have scored 15 goals in just four appearances having conceded just two, which goes on to show just how good they have been.
The Polish national team will however be hoping to get along well having not played an international match since November last year, when they faced Switzerland in an international friendly. Ireland on the other hand have been impressive themselves having scored 10 goals in the qualification campaign so far, having conceded just three.
They are currently on level points with Germany and Scotland and could move up in the table depending on other results.
With Darren Gibson withdrawn from the squad after picking up an injury, Hull City midfielder Stephen Quinn has announced himself as a potential replacement. The 28 year old has featured 12 times for the Boys in Green and is hoping for a recall to the national side.
“I’m not sure, the manager will decide that. I’m here, I’m training hard and I’m available for selection but it’s completely up to the manager but I’m ready and waiting,” said Quinn.
“You go through stages as a footballer when you’re in and you’re out but it’s just how you deal with it mentally.
“I’m feeling good, I feel like I’m in good form, obviously not playing as much as I’d like to at Hull but I just got to stay on it.
“I’ve been playing minutes here and there but like I said before I’m ready and waiting.”
Matches between the two sides which will play at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday have usually resulted in draws, with four of the last six matches yielding the result. Poland on the other hand have not enjoyed much luck in the Ireland half in their last four encounters, having failed to score in three of them. Martin O'Neill has fared well with the Green Army in recent games and has lost just one of his last six matches as manager of the Republic of Ireland.
