**Porto, Portugal** – Portugal is on the brink of securing a UEFA Nations League quarter-final berth when they host Poland at the Estadio do Dragao on Friday. A draw will be enough for the group leaders to advance, while Poland, missing star striker Robert Lewandowski due to a back injury, needs a victory to stay in contention.

The match, kicking off at 1:15 AM IST on Saturday, will be a crucial encounter for both teams. Portugal, boasting a strong squad including Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo Costa, and Bruno Fernandes, currently tops Group A with 10 points. Poland, in third place with four points, faces an uphill battle after losing their star forward. Piotr Zielinski is expected to lead the Polish attack.

The reverse fixture ended in a 3-1 victory for Portugal, highlighting the challenge facing the visitors. Poland’s last win against Portugal came in 2006. The match will be broadcast live in India on Sony Sports Ten 2 and Sony Sports Ten 2 HD, with live streaming available on SonyLIV. A win for Poland would dramatically shift the group standings, while a draw or a Portuguese victory will seal Portugal’s place in the next round.
