Saudi Arabia can qualify for the knockout stages with a win in the second World Cup match of the day.

The supposed Group C whipping boys, who shocked Argentina in Matchday 1, take on Poland in the 13:00 GMT kick-off.

Saudi Arabia make three changes to the side that defeated Lionel Messi and co, two of which are enforced.

Abdulelah Al Amri and Mohammed Al Burayk replace injured duo Yassir Al Shahrani and Salman Al Farah in defence, while Sami Al Naji starts in place of Hassan Al Tambakti.

And there are three changes for Poland, too.

Krystian Bielik, Arkadiusz Milik and Przemyslaw Frankowski come in for Jakub Kaminski, Sebastian Szymanski and Nicola Zalewski.

The 7.9%-owned budget buy Matty Cash is the most-selected player from either starting XI today, with 8%-owned midfielder Nawaf Al Abid among the substitutes.

All three of Saudi Arabia’s $3.0m-rated defenders are benched, one of whom – Al Tambakti – started in Matchday 1.

MATCHDAY 2 LINE-UPS

Poland XI: Szczesny, Bereszynski, Kiwior, Glik, Cash, Zielinski, Krychowiak, Bielik, Frankowski, Milik, Lewandowski

Saudi Arabia XI: Al Owais, Abdulhamid, Al Amri, Al Bulayhi, Al Burayk, Alanjei, Al Malki, Kanno, Al Brikan, S. Al Dawsari, Al Sehri

Btw, popped in to share a funny headline I read in today's news....

"For Qatar, whose hosting of the World Cup was more than a dozen years and $220 billion in the making, it's over already."

LOL, so pathetic, I guess they forgot to spend money on talent

  Ok. So Argentina are the level of Wales or Costa Rica?
  
  They lost 2-1 to a team who lost to 2-0 to Poland.
  And that 1 Argentina goal was a var gift.

You'd have to fancy Poland's chances now.
That Lewandowski miss might be crucial though, goal difference could be important.

  I went back and forth between them and in the end went with Mexico to squeak out. I have feeling Mexico's will fall hard today but I'd rather be going up against KSA in final match than Argentina that's for sure.

The only reason they got by Argentina was due to corrupt VAR decisions, but I said they shall be weeded out soon enough hopefully

I mean honestly, who's looking forward to seeing KSA in the next round?

        Woah, everyone get themselves a nice pile of catnip & chill. I might not agree with Louis (missed this game but enjoyed Saudi performance v Argentina), but its quite a jump from criticising their performance to racism. I'll often be among the first to jump in on anything really offensive but this is not that.
