The 2022 UEFA Nations League officially begins this week, with Poland hosting Wales at the Municipal Stadium Wroclaw in the tournament's first match on Wednesday.

On Wednesday evening, both Iceland and Wales begin their Nations League campaigns.

The two sides are in a difficult group with Belgium and Holland, and this is the start of a hectic schedule for Wales, which includes five matches in less than two weeks.

With a World Cup play-off final against either Scotland or Ukraine on Sunday in Cardiff, they are unlikely to be focused on this match. The victor of the match will join England, Iran, and the United States in Group B in Qatar at the end of the year.

However, they must first travel to Poland, who will be looking to win this encounter ahead of matchups against higher-ranked opponents.


Poland vs Wales: Probable Playing XI

Poland: Wojciech Szczęsny, Bartosz Bereszyński, Kamil Glik, Jan Bednarek, Matty Cash, Krystian Bielik, Piotr Zieliński, Grzegorz Krychowiak, Jacek Góralski, Karol Linetty, Robert Lewandowski.

Wales: Wayne Hennessey, Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rondon, Ben Davies, Neco Williams, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen, Harry Wilson, Connor Roberts, Daniel James, Gareth Bale.


Poland vs Wales: Prediction

It's debatable how significant the Nations League is at the best of times, but it's not a priority for Wales this week. Rob Page will almost certainly treat this encounter as a warm-up for Wales' major game on Sunday, when they return to Cardiff to compete for a place in the World Cup.

Poland has only lost one of their last nine matches, including a 0-0 tie with England, and they should be able to take advantage of the visitors' distractions.

Prediction: Poland 2 - 0 Wales
