That may mean the likes of Gareth Bale—who has departed Real Madrid after winning his fifth Champions League crown—and Aaron Ramsey are saved for the bigger prize at stake.
It was a Bale brace that led Wales to a 2-1 win over Austria in the playoff semifinal in March and the team could now be just 90 minutes from qualifying for its first World Cup since 1958.
Poland is only one competitive game removed from its most recent defeat but is at least unbeaten in two outings under Czesław Michniewicz, who replaced Paulo Sousa in January.

Wales’ World Cup commitments put the ball firmly in the hosts’ court come Wednesday, with Wales having bigger fish to fry ahead of its last chance at a World Cup berth.
