The international break is set to begin with an interesting set of games this weekend as Ukraine take on an in-form Poland outfit at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow. Both teams have improved over the past few months and will want to test their squad in this game.
Ukraine pulled off one of the biggest upsets in international football last month and managed a crucial 1-0 victory against Spain in the UEFA Nations League. The Ukrainians are perfectly capable of troubling the best sides in Europe and have a point to prove in this fixture.
Poland are currently on an excellent run of form and have scored ten goals in their last four games. Robert Lewandowski continues to lead from the front for the Polish national team and is likely to play an important role in this game.

Poland vs Ukraine Prediction
Poland have a formidable attacking line-up and with Robert Lewandowski in their ranks, the Poles will hold a slight upper hand in this game. Ukraine have proven themselves as giant-killers, however, and will want to cement their position among Europe's powerful forces.
Andriy Shevchenko's young side defeated Spain for the first time in Ukraine's history last month and the team will want to kick off this month's series of international fixtures with another victory. Poland hold all the cards going into this game, however, and should be able to pick up a victory.
