The World Cup qualifiers are back, and Thursday night gives us a tasty one: the Netherlands welcoming Poland to Rotterdam. The Dutch have started qualifying like a runaway train, while Poland are already in damage-control mode after a rocky few months.
So, are the Oranje about to cruise again, or can Poland spring a surprise? Let’s take a look.
The Dutch camp is buzzing after that 8–0 thrashing of Malta. Memphis Depay looks sharp again, scoring twice in that game, and Ronald Koeman has almost a full squad at his disposal. Virgil van Dijk is expected to marshal the defence, while Xavi Simons and Cody Gakpo provide the spark in attack. Donyell Malen, who grabbed a brace last time out, is pushing for a start too.
Poland, meanwhile, are still adjusting to life under interim boss Jan Urban after Michal Probierz resigned. The big talking point? Robert Lewandowski. The veteran striker hasn’t been at his happiest in the national setup recently, but if Poland want anything here, they need him firing. Jakub Kiwior scored in the defeat to Finland, and he’ll likely start again, while Wojciech Szczęsny should get the nod in goal.
Injuries? Nothing major, but Poland’s midfield balance is still an issue. They’ve struggled to control games, and against a Dutch side that loves possession, that’s a worry.
Likely Lineups
Netherlands (4-3-3): Verbruggen; Dumfries, Van Dijk, De Ligt, Ake; Simons, De Jong, Wieffer; Gakpo, Depay, Malen
Poland (4-2-3-1): Szczęsny; Cash, Bednarek, Kiwior, Bereszynski; Zieliński, Moder; Frankowski, Szymański, Zalewski; Lewandowski
Here’s what I think… the Dutch should dominate this one. They’ve scored 10 goals in just two qualifiers so far, and they always seem to find a way against Poland. Remember the Euros last summer? Poland took the lead, but the Netherlands flipped it around and won 2–1. It’s been the story of this fixture for years.
A few betting angles worth a look:
What do you think? Brave enough to back Poland here?
Poland will sit deep, wait for their moment, and hope Lewandowski snatches one. But the Dutch are too slick in midfield and too clinical up front. Koeman’s side love playing at De Kuip, and the crowd will be right behind them.
I see the Netherlands controlling possession, grinding Poland down, and then picking them off.
Match Prediction: Netherlands to win. Bet with bet365.
I’m leaning towards a 2-0 Netherlands win. Enough to show their quality, but maybe not quite another thrashing like the Malta game. If Poland defend well, they can at least avoid embarrassment.
Correct Score Prediction: Netherlands 2-0 Poland. Bet with bet365.
The numbers scream goals. The Dutch have scored at least twice in each of their last nine home internationals. Poland usually chip in with a goal, but against this defence, I’m not so sure.
Bigger price: Over 3.5 goals if you fancy another Oranje goal fest.
Tip: Over 2.5 goals feels safe.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a combo that makes sense for Thursday night:
Bet Builder Tip: Netherlands to win, over 2.5 goals, Memphis Depay anytime scorer, and both teams to score – no. Bet with bet365.
