Germany gunning for revenge on Poland

World Cup winners Germany will look to make amends for their Euro 2016 qualifying defeat to Poland last year when the two sides meet again in Frankfurt on Friday to heave their qualification campaign back on track.

The Germans suffered a shock 2-0 loss to their neighbours only three months after winning the World Cup in Brazil and Poland currently top Group D, a point ahead of Germany, three ahead of Scotland and five ahead of Ireland. The world champions also play Scotland next week.

“We have two important games and we look forward to that. We want to attack, we need points and results and we need to focus on that,” said Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger.
