2026 World Cup Qualifiers Prediction Netherlands vs Poland, 1:45 a.m. September 5: The Orange tornado continues its destructive momentum

TPO - Football analysis Netherlands vs Poland, 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe - Team information, expected lineup, form, head-to-head history. After the 8-0 demolition of Malta, the Netherlands is full of spirit in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Prediction before the match Netherlands vs Poland

In Group G of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe, the Netherlands is ranked 2nd with 6 full points. The "Orange Storm" still has a chance to take the top spot as they have played 2 fewer matches than Finland. The Netherlands vs Poland tonight is the pivotal match to decide the situation in Group G.

Coach Ronald Koeman and his team beat Finland 2-0 in the opening match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Then, the Netherlands destroyed Malta 8-0 at home. Since Euro 2024, the Netherlands has continued their impressive form until now. And with the momentum of playing at home, Koeman and his team took advantage to win 3 more important points against Poland.

Poland started the 2026 World Cup qualifiers smoothly with wins over Lithuania and Malta. But in their most recent outing, the "White Eagles" lost 1-2 to Finland. Poland's internal turmoil was intense after the defeat to Finland, when coach Probierz stripped Lewandowski of the captaincy. After that, the Polish legend announced his retirement from the national team.

The drama did not end when, right after the loss to Finland, coach Probierz left the team. At this time, Lewandowski returned when the Polish team was led by coach Urban. Despite the return of "Lewy", Poland was still considered completely underdogs to the Netherlands when playing away, having unstable form and just changed "general".

Experts say the Netherlands have a high chance of winning by more than 2 goals. The open play of both teams makes the match promising to have many goals.

Form, head-to-head record Netherlands vs Poland

Under coach Koeman, the Netherlands has been making a strong change. The "Orange whirlwind" has somewhat regained its performance when their new generation of players has many bright talents. Coach Koeman has concretized the quality squad with good performances and improved matches.

Poland’s recent form has been decent, winning three straight games before losing to Finland. But Poland’s two wins against Latvia and Malta in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers were not impressive, as their opponents were much weaker but still struggled to get three points.

Poland will put all their trust in Lewandowski's legs. However, the leader of the "White Eagles" is not in good form at this stage. Through the first matches of the 2025/26 season, Lewandowski was on the bench at Barca because he had just returned from injury.

Netherlands vs Poland team information

The Netherlands have not called up defender Frimpong due to injury. The Netherlands’ biggest stars are all present, forming one of their strongest squads in years. From Van Dijk to De Jong, Gravenberch, Rejinders, Xavi Simons and Gakpo, all are in good form. The Dutch midfield of De Jong, Gravenberch and Rejinders will be the focal point of their play.

The Polish team must consider Lewandowski's starting position. The Barca star's form and ball sense are not good. Coach Urban has Swiderski, Buksa and Krzystof to consider for the attack.

Expected lineup :

Netherlands: Verbruggen; Dumfries, Van Dijk, Van Hecke, Van de Ven; De Jong, Gravenberch, Reijnders; Simons, Depay, Gakpo

Poland: Skorupski; Bednarek, Kedziora, Kiwior; Cash, Zielinski, Szymanski, Slisz, Zalewski; Lewandowski, Piatek

Score prediction: Netherlands 3-0 Poland.
