Kick-off: 1945, 22/09/2022
Stadium: Stadion Narodowy
Netherlands are leading the way in Nations League Group A4 but Poland will also be pumped up as they are battling to stay in the top tier.
The Eagles managed to hold the Dutch to a draw in Rotterdam over the summer and will again be hard to beat in the return fixture in Warsaw.
We’re taking 13/5 for these teams to share the spoils at Stadion Narodowy for our first Poland vs Netherlands prediction.
Poland Odds
Poland opened their campaign in this competition by edging out Wales 2-1 in Wroclaw before suffering a 6-1 blip when visiting Belgium.
When travelling to Holland, goals from Aston Villa full-back Matty Cash and Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski put them in the driving seat.
A quickfire double from Davy Klaassen and Denzel Dumfries levelled things up before the hour mark, but Poland hung on for a point.
Belgium were worthy 1-0 winners at this venue last time out, but that was a much-improved performance by the Eagles compared to their previous encounter.
Having struggled to cope with the Red Devils’ excellent possession play for long periods, Poland applied plenty of late pressure.
Karol Swiderski twice went close to equalising, including when heading Robert Lewandowski’s lovely cross against the woodwork.
Czeslaw Michniewicz took charge in January after Poland had finished second behind England in their World Cup qualifying group.
He led them to a 2-0 play-offs win over Sweden and this squad will now be playing for places at Qatar 2022.
Lewandowski is always the main danger man, but Zielinski recently struck twice for Napoli versus Liverpool in the Champions League.
Looking at the Poland vs Netherlands odds, he is a tempting 9/2 to score at any time.
Netherlands Odds
Louis van Gaal is enjoying an excellent third stint as Netherlands manager, having initially steered them to top spot in their World Cup pool.
Including friendlies and this tournament, the 71-year-old is unbeaten in 13 matches as Oranje boss.
The Dutch put in a dazzling display to begin this group with a 4-1 triumph in Belgium, where Memphis Depay hit a double.
Two encounters with Wales featured late drama at both ends of the pitch, with the Dragons grabbing 92nd-minute equalisers on each occasion but Holland still having time to prevail 2-1 and 3-2.
Add in that 2-2 Rotterdam draw with Poland and the Dutch are plotting an exciting path to the finals at this point.
Their four fixtures have produced five stoppage-time goals and it would be no surprise to see this contest open up late on as well.
Let’s add 11/5 for both teams to score in the second half to our Poland vs Netherlands betting tips.
That wager would have paid out in every Holland Group A4 game so far!
