Poland vs Netherlands preview & prediction

Match preview

The Netherlands hope to move one step closer to the UEFA Nations League semi-final when they travel to Warsaw on Thursday to face Poland in their penultimate match.

While the hosts have won just four of their last 10 international home games, the Netherlands are undefeated in their last seven away games in all competitions. The last time the two countries met was earlier this year, in a match which ended in a 2–2 draw.

Poland come into this match after losing 1-0 to Belgium via a first-half goal from Fenerbahçe striker Michy Batshuayi secured victory for Belgium in their last match.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands beat Rob Pages’ Wales 3–2 in their previous match. Goals from Club Brugge winger Noah Lang, PSV Eindhoven forward Cody Gakpo and Barcelona attacker Memphis Depay secured victory for Louis van Gaal’s side.

Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson and Los Angeles FC forward Gareth Bale’s goals were a consolation for Wales.

In the 18 head-to-head between the two teams, the Netherlands have a clear advantage. They have 8 wins, 3 losses and 7 draws.
