If Poland wants to buck their trend of not progressing from the group stage since 1986, they need to get win against Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia's comeback win against Argentina on Tuesday was a shock to the system for many people following the tournament. Saudi Arabia went into half-time only one goal down, despite their high backline being exposed a few times. They scored two quick goals shortly after the break and held on to their lead, even though they had to do some defending towards the end. This win was historic for Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia's chances of moving on to the next phase of the World Cup largely depend on their defence - specifically, how high they choose to play. Their strategy against Argentina was interesting, and it will be worth watching to see if they employ the same tactics against Poland. If they do, it will be interesting to see if their luck holds out. A second win is likely enough to secure their place in the knockout phase, but Poland - and Lewandowski in particular - will be looking for an improved performance to keep Polish hopes alive.
