This would be the first of such meeting between these sides who are both participating in this year's World Cup and could provide a timely glimpse of what to expect from them by the time the competition kickoff.
Coming to face a formidable Polish side in their own backyard, can the Eagles replicate the form used in handling the Argentina clash?
It is an usual tactic for coaches to attack in friendlies since there are no points at stake but it is expected that among these two teams, there will be a mutual respect and the first half might be a cagey affair.
Admittedly, the support of the home fans will prove to be a boost to Poland and they will come out prowling but Nigeria will have the services of Wilfried Ndidi, a player who has the most tackles in Europe's top five leagues this season. (He boasts a 62% tackle success and has won 167 of his aerial duels)
Nigeria will rely on the the pace and trickery of Victor Moses and Moses Simon, Kelechi Ihenacho to be among the goals, if the chance arises.
In attack, Poland will be hoping Robert Lewandowski continues on his terrific run of form; he has 32 goals in all competitions this season.
