Lewandowski targets 90th Poland goal against Eagles

Poland's prolific striker Robert Lewandowski is on the cusp of another scoring milestone as the Polish national team prepares to host Nigeria in a friendly match. Lewandowski, already Poland's all-time leading scorer, aims to net his 90th goal for his country during the encounter at the Stadion PGE Narodowy in Warsaw.

With 89 goals in 166 appearances since his debut in September 2008, Lewandowski's pursuit of the 90-goal mark will further solidify his legendary status and bring him closer to the coveted 100-goal milestone. The 37-year-old forward is expected to feature prominently in the match, having played only 45 minutes in Poland's previous 2-0 defeat against Ukraine.

Poland's coach, Jan Urban, has indicated that the team will undergo significant squad rotation for the friendly. "Expect numerous changes. There were many in the first match, and there will be many in the second," Urban stated, emphasizing the nature of friendly matches as opportunities to test different players and strategies. He confirmed that Wolfsburg goalkeeper Kamil Grabara will start, replacing Marcin Bułka, and Piotr Zieliński is also slated to be in the starting lineup.

This match marks only the second senior international meeting between Poland and Nigeria. Their previous encounter in March 2018 saw Nigeria emerge victorious with a 1-0 win, thanks to a goal from Victor Moses. Lewandowski and his team will be eager to secure a positive result on home soil as they continue their preparations for future international competitions.
