Fresh from a successful sojourn to the Faroe Islands, Poland return to their Warsaw headquarters at the Stadion Narodowy to tackle Moldova in Sunday's Euro 2024 qualifying Group E clash.
The Eagles cruised past the section's basement team 2-0 on Thursday evening to rise into the second and final automatic qualifying spot, one point and two places better off than their upcoming foes.
A former Poland youth international himself, Probierz was handed a particularly kind fixture to open his tenure - a trip to a 131st-ranked Faroe Islands team without a win in Group E so far - and the White-Reds ran out comfortable victors by the close of play in Torshavn.
Sebastian Szymanski needed just four minutes to draw first blood, and while Poland failed to add to their advantage against the minnows in the remainder of the first half, Hordur Askham's 49th-minute red card opened the door for Adam Buksa to seal the deal.
Still following a loss-win-loss-win pattern in Group E - which will not fill the more superstitious supporters with optimism for Sunday's game - Poland capitalised on the Czech Republic's 3-0 loss to Albania to rise to second in the group, although they sit just one point above the Czechs having played a game more.
