  2. 'Hamsik important for Slovakia'

    Sports journalist from Slovakia on BBC Radio 5 live

    Marek Hamsik has for a long time been the world class player in the Slovakia squad. He's really important for the team, he's the best goalscorer in Slovakia's history. Slovakia has had a problem with the centre forward position, so Hamsik has been even more important.

    Robert Lewandowski

    Robert Lewandowski enters the fray today, but will he finish top scorer at Euro 2020? It will be tough because despite his sensational form at club and country level generally he has had a bit of a drought at tournaments.

    He's scored only one goal in his past 10 games in major competitions - against Portugal in the Euro 2016 quarter-finals.

  4. Hamsik the key

    Poland v Slovakia (17:00 BST)

    .

    Slovakia will certainly be no slouches as they look to replicate their achievement at Euro 2016 by getting out of their group.

    At the tournament five years ago, no player was involved in more goals (two - one goal, one assist), had more shots (10) or made more successful passes (181) for Slovakia than midfielder Marek Hamsik.

  5. Atmosphere building

    Poland v Slovakia (17:00 BST)

    We are in St Petersburg for this one at the 68,000-capacity Gazprom Arena, which will be at 50% capacity.

    The fans have been getting in the mood for the game over the last few hours.

  6. Lawro predicts

    Poland v Slovakia (17:00 BST)

    Mark Lawrenson

    BBC football expert

    Slovakia can be a bit flaky at times and in Robert Lewandowski, Poland have got the perfect player to punish any defensive lapses.

    Lawro's prediction: 2-0

  7. Team news

    Poland

    Poland's starting 11 includes Southampton defender Jan Bednarek, Leeds midfielder Mateusz Klich and Derby winger Kamil Jozwiak.

    Subs: Dawidowicz, Kedziora, Kozlowski, Swiderski, Skorupski, Moder, Placheta, Frankowski, Fabianski, Swierczok, Helik, Puchacz.

  8. Lewandowski to lift Poland?

    Poland v Slovakia (17:00 BST)

    Poland's form heading into Euro 2020 hasn't exactly been sparkling. Of the five games they have played this year they have won only one - against Andorra.

    It is hardly the sort of run of results that will have fans confident in their side's prospects of doing well, but while you've got this man in your ranks...

    Robert Lewandowski

    ... then you've always got a chance.
