Poland have doubts over the fitness of defender Damien Perquis as the Sochaux centre-half recovers from an elbow fracture he suffered in March.
Greece manager Fernando Santos has injury concerns over defender Vassilis Torosidis, who has a knee problem, and Sotiris Ninis, who is set to overcome a shoulder issue to feature.
MANAGER QUOTES
Franciszek Smuda: "Just before very important matches I have trouble sleeping, but this team has convinced me that I can rely on them; they have convinced me in every way during the last two and a half years. I just hope that together we will achieve what we desire."
Fernando Santos: "I think defence has been key to the success of this team, but attack and defence are equally important. If we could only defend we wouldn't be here."
MATCH FACTS
The last side to win a European Championship finals tournament that they hosted were France in 1984. None of the last eight hosts have won the tournament in their home nation, while only one of those (Portugal in 2004) have reached the final.
Poland have never won a game at the European Championships. Their one previous appearance in 2008 saw them exit at the group stage following one draw and two defeats.
Greece have only won one of their nine group matches at European Championship finals, though that was in their opening game of Euro 2004 – the year they went on to win the tournament.
Greece’s one group victory in 2004 was against Portugal who, as Poland are now, were the hosts of the tournament.
Poland have won 10 of their previous 15 internationals against Greece (D2 L3), including three of their four previous competitive meetings (L1).
Greece are the only side to have won the tournament with a foreign coach (with Germany’s Otto Rehhagel in 2004).
The last three host sides have all lost their opening games at Euros (Portugal in 2004, Switzerland and Austria in 2008).
Greece had the lowest goals per game rate in qualifying to reach Euro 2012 (1.4 goals per game).
