Poland is in Group C at the World Cup. Robert Lewandowski has scored 74 goals in 134 appearances for Poland.

They played in the Nations League and won twice against Wales. Poland are looking to reach the knockout rounds for the first time since 1986.

Piotr Zielinski has been a key player for Napoli this season. Poland need him to be on top form to unlock Robert Lewandowski's full abilities.

Mexico has won just three of their last nine matches. They have been held scoreless five times in that stretch. Raul Jimenez is injured and Jesus Corona is out. Carlos Vela was left off the roster. Chucky Lozano and Hector Herrera will play in the midfield. Mexico are playing in Group C. Mexico is a favorite to win the tournament. Argentina is the second favorite. The team is also a big favorite at +590.

Chucky Lozano is Mexico's most explosive player. He has four goals and three assists this season for Napoli.

Saudi Arabia are a team that has a lot of players from Al Hilal. They have a good defensive record and have stifled attacks for Colombia and Ecuador. Their September friendly with the US Men's National Team ended in a 0-0 draw. Salem Al-Dawsari scored 18 goals for Al Hilal last season. Saleh Al Shehri's status for the tournament is unknown. Saudi Arabia could be the deciding factor in the group.

Salem Al-Dawsari has scored 17 goals in 70 appearances for the national team. He has also scored 18 goals this year. His 95th-minute goal against Egypt in the 2018 World Cup gave them their only victory of the tournament.

Argentina is going to win the group. Poland will finish second and advance to the knockout stage. Mexico won't make it past the first round. Mexico's injuries will be too much to overcome.
