Poland will wrap up their preparations for the World Cup with a friendly against Chile on Wednesday. This contest will be an interesting one since only one of these nations has managed to book a ticket to Qatar. While the Europeans squeezed their way into the tournament via playoffs, the South American nation failed to book a World Cup ticket for the second successive time. Hence, the Wednesday evening friendly will be mainly about building confidence for Chile.

Either way, Wojciech Szczesny will be their preferred choice between the sticks. Meanwhile, Chile will miss Charles Aranguiz, however, they have more or less everyone else available.
