Poland vs Netherlands Match Preview

Poland is ranked in 3rd place with 4 points in group 4 of League A in the UEFA Nations League. It has not been the best period for them as they got a single win a draw and two losses over four duels. The campaign started with a win against Wales which is the worst team in the group but since then they really struggled against Belgium and the Netherlands. In these three encounters, they scored just 3 goals averaging a goal per game while conceding 9 goals which means conceding 3 goals per game.

It is quite the problem that they failed to keep a clean sheet in any of the four matches played. It is true they have a superb player like Lewandowski but if the rest of the team does not step up their game in the end there is not much they can do.

The Netherlands is ranked in the 1st spot with 10 points in this group and comes in good form after three wins and a draw over four matches. The team has been successfully rebuilding and between friendlies and Nations League games they are unbeaten for 13 consecutive games. During this streak, they have collected 9 wins and 4 draws.

They have scored a total of 11 goals in the 4 games of this competition, averaging almost three goals per game while managing to find the back of the net in each duel. As for their defense, they have conceded 6 goals which is slightly over a goal per game. I think they have a team with no big names yet but putting them all together they have definitely a good working team.

In conclusion, the Netherlands can win this match or get at least a draw. They are playing way better than their rivals and it seems they will try to reach the final stage of  World Cup 2022 in the best of shapes of morale by reaching the finals of the UEFA Nations League. A win here would almost mean that. Poland knows that they have no hopes for the 1st spot and I guess they will have no real motivation to win here. The Netherlands has won each of the last five h2h duels between them.
