Poland vs Netherlands Prediction & Betting tips
In Group A1 of the UEFA Nations League, there will be extreme tension before the final matchday on Wednesday evening. With Italy, Holland and Poland, three more teams can make the group victory and the associated participation in the final tournament in October 2021 perfect. The best starting positions are undoubtedly the Italians, for whom a win at the bottom in Bosnia would be enough to defend first place.
In the parallel game Poland against Holland, in which the odds are in the direction of the guests, both national teams are therefore dependent on whether the Squadra Azzurra lives up to their role as favorites or fails unexpectedly. The fact that the best bookmakers see the Orange in front on Wednesday evening in Chorzow can be attributed to the latest impressions.
While the Poles lost 2-0 in Italy and thus surrendered the top position in Group A1, Elftal finally achieved their first victory in their fifth international match under new coach Frank de Boer. Bosnia could be shown in their place with 3: 1. This released a lot of pressure from the already criticized Bondscoach and his assistants.
Between Poland and Holland, when predicting the outcome of the game, it must also be taken into account whether Robert Lewandowski can play. Europe’s Footballer of the Year was hit against Italy and then struggled with muscular problems. Its use is currently still in question. In order to include this possible failure in the assessment, it may be advisable to bet live on the event. For seven tips for live betting, please refer to our betting base guides.
Poland :
With seven points from the first four games in the Nations League, the Polish national team not only celebrated a tailor-made start, but also took the lead in Group A1. At the weekend, one point in the away game would have been enough to keep the group win in your own hands.
The white-reds lost 2-0 at the Mapei Stadium in the Reggio Emilia region and delivered the weakest performance of this year’s Nations League edition. To make matters worse, Jacek Goralski, who was only substituted at half-time, had to leave the field with yellow-red after 77 minutes. Because the Poles did not have 40% possession of the ball, did not fire a shot on the opposing goal, but had to accept a whopping 19 shots on goal, it was ultimately a deserved bankruptcy.
It will now be interesting to see how the 18th in the FIFA world rankings reacts to the disappointing performance. In order to make a forecast on the host between Poland and Holland, it is worth taking a look at the good home record. With three wins and a draw from four home games in the 2020 calendar year, the yield is very impressive.
Even more remarkable are the outstanding values of the defensive, because only the Finns were able to score a goal in Poland with the 1: 5 clap. This trend was already indicated in 2019, when Lewandowski and Co. conceded only two goals and recorded four “clean sheets” in five home games as part of the European Championship qualification.
With more than half of all home games since the beginning of 2019 (five out of nine), a corresponding bet would have been crowned with success. A further argument for this is provided by the uncertainty mentioned in the introduction about the use of Robert Lewandowski, the absence of which would be tantamount to an offensive declaration of bankruptcy by the Bialo-Czerwoni.
Holland :
Taking a deep breath was the order of the day for Frank de Boer last Sunday. After the new Bondscoach and Koeman successor had not won four times in a row, the long-awaited first victory finally succeeded in the home game against Bosnia. Thanks to an early double from Gigi Wijnaldum (6th & 14th), Elftal was able to live up to its role as a favorite and maintain the chances of participating in the Nations League final again.
Before the last match against Poland in Chorzow, the Oranje must hope for help from that Bosnian. Only if Italy did not win on Wednesday evening and Holland beat Poland at the same time, the De Boer-Elf would jump to first place and fix the group win. There may be a problem with doing your own homework, because abroad there was last for the world rankings 15. not much to get.
Both away games in the current calendar year have ended in a draw so far. While the qualitatively high-quality offensive in Bosnia did not succeed (0-0), Donny van de Beek at least made it 1: 1 in the match in Italy.
Even so, the attack department remains the Elftal’s biggest problem. In seven international matches in 2020 Depay and Co. marked just six little gates; three of them most recently against Bosnia. But three times the orange came out completely empty. In six of the seven matches with the participation of the current runner-up in Group A1, fewer than three goals were scored, which is enough for us to use the odds on the Under 2.5 between Poland and Holland.
In the meantime, not many changes are to be expected in terms of personnel. Only van de Beek is pushing into the starting line-up and could replace Davy Klaassen. Further up the field, Malen, who is only 20 years old, could get his probation chance right from the start. In defense, Frank de Boer still has to do without his long-term injured boss Virgil van Dijk.
