Netherlands vs Poland Preview, Betting Odds and Predictions – 04/09/2025

De Kuip will set the stage for a heavyweight clash in Group G on Thursday night as the Netherlands take on Poland in Rotterdam in UEFA World Cup 2026 qualifying. Both nations head into the tie on six points, but Ronald Koeman’s side hold a crucial advantage with a game in hand. For Poland, it marks the start of a new era under recently appointed head coach Jan Urban.

The Netherlands arrive in high spirits after dismantling Malta 8-0 in their last qualifier. That emphatic victory saw six different scorers on the sheet, with Memphis Depay and Donyell Malen bagging braces, while Virgil van Dijk, Noa Lang, Micky van de Ven and Xavi Simons also found the net. The Oranje had earlier dispatched Finland 2-0, leaving them with a perfect record of two wins, 10 goals scored, and none conceded so far.

Netherlands vs Poland Preview

Poland lost 2-1 to Finland despite a late goal from Jakub Kiwior. That defeat ended their perfect start, which had included wins over Lithuania and Malta. New boss Jan Urban steps into the hot seat aiming to steady the ship and get Poland back on track in a tricky group. Urban’s biggest early success has been reconciling with Robert Lewandowski.

The Barcelona striker had distanced himself from the national team after being stripped of the captaincy, but Urban has reinstated him as skipper. The 35-year-old talisman now leads Poland into a fixture they haven’t won since 1979, with the Eagles having gone 20 matches without a victory against the Dutch. Meanwhile, The Dutch have not lost in World Cup qualifying since March 2021. For both sides, this match could set the tone for the rest of their qualifying campaigns.
