Poland vs Netherlands

It is second against first in Group G of the UEFA World Cup qualifiers as Poland host the Netherlands on Friday.

The Dutch are unbeaten and setting the pace in the group, but need to be wary of a fast-rising Polish side. Both teams will fancy their chances coming into this clash and could be set to serve up a thrilling contest.

Poland News

Poland are enjoying a solid qualifying campaign and currently sit second in the standings, three points off the pace. However, while attempting to chase down the leaders, they must also be wary of Finland, who are just three points behind in the playoff race.

Things have been pretty smooth for Poland lately, having won their last three matches, including a 2-0 victory at Lithuania in their previous fixture. Jan Urban’s team also have a solid record in front of their fans, winning their last five home matches across all competitions.

Poland have no problems going forward and have scored in their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in three of their last four qualifying matches, with two of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Netherlands News

The Netherlands are three points clear at the top of Group G after picking up five wins and one draw from their six matches. They eased to a 4-0 victory over Finland in their previous fixture, with Memphis Depay among the goals.

That result highlights the Netherlands' attacking quality as they have scored over 1.5 goals in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions. Seven of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals, while they have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last seven away matches.

The Netherlands go into Friday's clash knowing a win will secure a place in next year's tournament in North America. Ronald Koeman's team will be feeling confident, having won their last three away matches in the qualifiers.

Head to Head

The Netherlands have 10 wins and five draws, while Poland have picked up just three victories in the last 18 matches. However, both teams battled to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Poland v Netherlands

It is often an open encounter between Poland and the Netherlands, and with both teams scoring in four of their last five meetings, a repeat could be considered. With three of those fixtures also producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome could also be on the cards.

The Netherlands have plenty of quality going forward, scoring over 1.5 goals in eight of their last 10 matches. They should capitalize on Friday's open encounter and play out a similar pattern.
