** **Scotland face tough test on Poland trip
** **Poland (2nd) vs. Scotland (21st)
** Poland will host Scotland in the first of two meetings in 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying Group B on Thursday. With the sides having already played each other in the group in September 2021, it will be Scotland’s first match since the draw against Poland and a canceled friendly with Spain in February.Poland will be strong favorites for the match in Gliwice having won five of their six qualifiers in a group that also includes Belgium, Albania, Armenia, and Wales.
Nina Patalon's side is second in the table behind leaders Belgium and will be confident of securing qualification for the finals in Australia and New Zealand next summer with a win.
Scotland, meanwhile, was third, four points adrift of Poland before their opening qualifier in March against Hungary was postponed due to the Tartan Army's involvement in a World Cup playoff semi-final against Ukraine.
Pedro Martínez Losa's team will resume their qualifying campaign at Hampden Park next Tuesday but must first overcome a tough test away against Poland.
Scotland has not won any of their last three meetings with Poland, who won 5-0 at home when the sides last met at this stage of qualifying in 2018.
