Previous meetings • Robert Lewandowski posted his first ever four-goal haul for Poland as Gibraltar's first competitive home game ended in a 7-0 defeat. That remains the nations' only meeting in any UEFA competition. Form guide • Poland are unbeaten in five competitive home games (W3 D2) since a 3-1 loss to neighbours Ukraine in Warsaw on 22 March 2013. • Gibraltar have lost all three of their Group D away games to date, conceding 17 goals in the process. The only positive came in their 6-1 loss in Scotland, when Lee Casciaro scored their first ever competitive goal – briefly levelling the scores at Hampden Park. Trivia and links • Jeff Wood is the third coach to take charge of Gibraltar during this campaign; they kicked off with Allen Bula in charge before Scotsman David Wilson took command. He is now working as Wood's assistant. • Poland midfielder Tomasz Jodłowiec turns 30 the day after the Gibraltar game. 3 Poland - Gibraltar Monday 7 September 2015 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Stadion Narodowy, Warsaw Squad list Poland Current season Overall Qual.
