They drew against Mexico, beat Saudi Arabia and lost to Argentina in Group C. Still, it is the first time since 1986 that Poland has made it to the knockouts.Now they face the defending champions France which will undoubtedly be a stern test for Robert Lewandowski and co. <script type="application/json" data-placement="fcplayer-semantic">{"type":"fcplayer-semantic","data":{"embedCode":"//cdn.fcp.codes/embed-code-template/embed-code-template.js#SEMANTIC_5704afb8-c10b-4ba5-9cb4-d7fb6098ef90"}}</script>ALSO READ: <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/world-cup-2022-group-c-fixtures-results-standings-squads-and/blt4d30ea7ac21f240c" target="_blank">World Cup 2022 Group C: Fixtures, results, standings, squads &amp; full details</a>

Poland World Cup 2022 squad, predicted line-up versus France and star players

UEFA Nations League A

Poland

Scotland

Wojciech Szczesny is the firm No.1 for the Poland national team, with Lukasz Skorupski and Kamil Grabara playing backup roles. The Juventus keeper has already saved two penalties, including one of Lionel Messi, and is in fine form. <table><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Club</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Wojciech Szczesny</td><td>Juventus</td></tr><tr><td>Lukasz Skorupski</td><td>Bologna</td></tr><tr><td>Kamil Grabara</td><td>FC Copenhagen</td></tr></tbody></table>

GOALKEEPERS

Aston Villa star Matty Cash is in impressive form and supports the defence while providing an attacking threat in a right-back role.Kamil Glik and Jakub Kiwior have emerged as the two preferred centre-backs, with Bartosz Bereszyński slotting in at the left-back position. <table><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Club</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Robert Gumny</td><td>Augsburg</td></tr><tr><td>Jakub Kiwior</td><td>Spezia</td></tr><tr><td>Jan Bednarek</td><td>Aston Villa</td></tr><tr><td>Mateusz Wieteska</td><td>Clermont</td></tr><tr><td>Kamil Glik</td><td>Benevento</td></tr><tr><td>Bartosz Bereszynski</td><td>Sampdoria</td></tr><tr><td>Artur Jedrejczyk</td><td>Legia Warsaw</td></tr><tr><td>Matty Cash</td><td>Aston Villa</td></tr></tbody></table>

DEFENDERS

Grzegorz Krychowiak is one of the most senior members in the team and continues to be a regular starter in midfield for Poland.Alongside the experienced Al Shabab midfielder, Przemysław Frankowski, Krystian Bielik and Piotr Zielinski have been the regular starters.<table><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Club</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Grzegorz Krychowiak</td><td>Al-Shabab</td></tr><tr><td>Kamil Grosicki</td><td>Pogon</td></tr><tr><td>Szymon Zurkowski</td><td>Fiorentina</td></tr><tr><td>Michal Skoras</td><td>Lech Poznan</td></tr><tr><td>Jakub Kaminski</td><td>Wolfsburg</td></tr><tr><td>Sebastian Szymanski</td><td>Feyenoord</td></tr><tr><td>Piotr Zielinski</td><td>Napoli</td></tr><tr><td>Przemysław Frankowski</td><td>Lens</td></tr><tr><td>Krystian Bielik </td><td>Birmingham City</td></tr><tr><td>Damian Szymanski </td><td>AEK Athens</td></tr></tbody></table>

MIDFIELDERS

Robert Lewandowski is the captain of the team and also the country's all-time top goalscorer. He got his first World Cup goal against Saudi Arabia and will be pumped up to repeat the heroics against France. To support him up top, Poland does not just have Juventus forward Arkadiusz Milik, but also Krzysztof Piatek and Karol Swiderski.<table><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Club</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Arkadiusz Milik</td><td>Juventus</td></tr><tr><td>Robert Lewandowski</td><td>Barcelona</td></tr><tr><td>Karol Swiderski</td><td>Charlotte</td></tr><tr><td>Krzysztof Piatek</td><td>Salernitana</td></tr></tbody></table>

ATTACKERS

Szczesny has been exceptional for Poland in the group stages. If he maintains his form against France then Kylian Mbappe and co. will have a tough time getting past him. At the other end of the pitch, Barcelona's Lewandowski will be the one to watch out for. Saudi Arabia made the mistake of giving him an inch and he took a mile. His duel against the French centre-backs will be a feisty battle and if he gets going it will be a long night for Hugo Lloris.

POLAND STAR PLAYERS

Szczęsny is set to feature in goal behind Cash, Glik, Kiwior and Bereszynski. Zielinski, Bielik, Frankowski and Krychowiak could all line up to form the four-man midfield for Poland.Barcelona striker Lewandowski is undoubtedly the favourite to lead the line along with Swiderski. Poland XI (4-4-2): Szczesny; Cash, Glik, Kiwior, Bereszynski; Frankowski, Krychowiak, Zielinski, Bielik; Lewandowski, Swiderski.
