The Poland national football team will face Ukraine in an international friendly match tonight at Wroclaw.

The kick-off for the Poland vs Ukraine clash is scheduled for 10:30 PM WIB on Sunday, 31 May 2026.

Since both Poland and Ukraine failed to qualify for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in North America, there isn’t much at stake in this encounter, as both sides will likely be playing for pride.

So, which team will emerge victorious?

Poland vs Ukraine Head-to-Head and Statistics

The two teams have met ten times in the past, with Poland holding the upper hand, winning five of those matches — including a memorable 1-0 victory during the Euro 2016 group stage.

After finishing as runners-up in their World Cup qualifying group behind the Netherlands, Poland suffered heartbreak in the final play-off round, losing 3-2 to Sweden thanks to an 88th-minute goal.

This will be the first World Cup they have missed since the 2014 edition.

Ukraine also faced disappointment in their World Cup play-off match against Sweden in March.

In their case, they were defeated by the Scandinavian side at a neutral venue in Valencia, Spain, due to the ongoing conflict in their homeland.

Poland’s star striker Robert Lewandowski, who has netted 89 goals for his country, has enjoyed another excellent season with Barcelona.

He not only won the La Liga title but also contributed 19 goals during the campaign.

Due to the continuing conflict in Ukraine, the team has been forced to play several of their recent fixtures in Poland, effectively making them the "home" side there.

In 2025, they lost to France in Wroclaw before defeating Azerbaijan in Krakow and Iceland in Warsaw.

Poland vs Ukraine Prediction

Given that both teams missed out on World Cup qualification, it is likely they will field strong line-ups for this friendly fixture.

Overall, Poland appear to have the advantage here.

They were in good form before their loss to Sweden and possess a lethal attacking threat in Lewandowski.

However, with nothing major on the line, it would not be surprising if both sides opted for multiple substitutions and reduced intensity in the later stages of the match.

Therefore, the prediction leans towards a draw.

Predicted Score: Poland 1-1 Ukraine
