Portugal faces Poland without Cristiano Ronaldo in their second UEFA Nations League match. Match stats, head to head record and kick-off time here.

What is the current position of Poland and Portugal in the UEFA Nations League?

This will be the second match for both of these teams in this competition. Portugal defeated Italy to take an early lead in Group A3. Poland went on to draw their match against the Azzurri side, which leaves them in second place.

What is Poland's recent form compared to Portugal's?

The Orly had a disappointing World Cup, winning only one of their three games in the competition. Their form did not change a bit judging by what was seen in the previous International Break, as both of their games against Italy (UEFA Nations League) and Ireland (friendly) ended in similar one-all draws.

On the other side of the pitch, Portugal will be trying to adjust to Cristiano Ronaldo's absence, especially in front of goal. A Selecçao Das Quinas has won two, drawn three and lost one out of their most recent six games, with that loss coming in the FIFA World Cup against Uruguay.

Poland vs Portugal head-to-head stats

André Silva - Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo might not be around, but coach Fernando Santos will have one of the most in-form strikers in all of Europe at his service when he hands André Silva a starting nod.
