Poland are the highest-ranked side in the group and will be favourites to come out on top.
After winning their group in the inaugural Nations League last year, Poland had a difficult time in Euro 2025 qualifying and finished bottom, without a point, in a group of Germany, Iceland and Austria.
That is not a true reflection of their abilities, and they responded in the first round of Euro 2025 play-offs to hammer Romania 6-2 on aggregate.
They will now be looking to gain revenge against Austria and qualify for their first major tournament.
Their star player is Barcelona striker and captain Ewa Pajor, who has scored 62 goals in 92 internationals.
Northern Ireland faced Poland in qualifying for the 2015 World Cup, and it was the Poles who came out on top on both occasions.
They ran out 3-0 winners at Mourneview Park in November 2013 as Magdalena Szaj’s effort and two goals by Patrycja Pozerska made the difference.
That was followed with a 4-0 victory the following September in Torun, with teenager Pajor finding the net twice.
In Oxtoby’s most recent squad, only captain Simone Magill, defender Laura Rafferty and winger Lauren Wade featured in the games against Poland 11 years ago.
