Poland has a clear path to a major jump in group B4 when it faces Bosnia and Herzegovina away on Monday at 20:45. Depending on the result in Romania's match with Sweden, Jan Urban's team can move into second place or even first place in the group.
The current standings make the stakes easy to follow. Group B4 consists of Sweden, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland and Romania, and the top team advances directly to League A while the runner-up goes into a promotion playoff. That means Poland's fourth match in this Nations League window could shape both its place in the group and its longer-term path.
How Poland gets to first place
Poland need a win against Bosnia and Herzegovina and help elsewhere. If Poland beats Bosnia and Herzegovina and Romania beats Sweden, the Biało-Czerwoni can go to the top of the table. That would put them in position for direct promotion to League A.
Poland already has a mixed but important set of results behind it. In its first Nations League match, it drew 0:0 with Bosnia and Herzegovina. In its second, it lost 1:3 to Sweden. Then it responded with a 6:0 win over Romania, which kept its hopes alive heading into Monday's matches.
Why second place still matters
Even if Poland does not finish first, second place would still be a useful outcome. The runner-up in group B4 gets a promotion playoff, so there is still a route to League A without winning the section outright. In a compact group, that keeps every point valuable, especially with only one matchday left in this stage.
The timing adds to the pressure. The Bosnia and Herzegovina-Poland match and Romania-Sweden are both scheduled to begin at 20:45 on Monday, so the table could shift quickly. With the longest national-team window in history still in progress, Poland's situation is simple: beat Bosnia and Herzegovina, then wait for the other result to see how high it can climb.
