Germany forward Thomas Muller is out to settle a score when the world champions face Poland in Friday's Euro 2016 qualifier.
Joachim Low's men were dealt their only loss of the qualifying campaign by Poland last October as they went down 2-0 in Warsaw.
That result marked Germany's maiden defeat to Poland and their first in an away qualifier since 1998.
"We have a score to settle with Poland. We need to beat them and we want to be the group leader," Muller said.
"The game against Poland is not just about Lewandowski," he added. "[We] have to stop the counterattack and defend the space well.
"Poland are top, we are second so at the moment it is an equal game. It's going to be tough work, we know that."
Adam Nawalka's Poland are yet to taste defeat in qualifying and have scored 20 goals while shipping just three.
He said: "Germany will be favourites, but we are not afraid of the challenge. We have more and more faith in our own abilities. We are prepared, the Germans will attack us aggressively, but we will answer the same."
Lewandowski echoed his coach's sentiments, intimating that Poland will approach the fixture without fear.
"It will be harder match than the first in Warsaw," Lewandowski said. "We are playing away, the German team certainly will want revenge after the first defeat. Going there, on the one hand, we must approach with respect, on the other hand, we must not be afraid.
"Everyone will want to get there points. We will focus on what we have to do, and not Germany."
