Tips for match Poland — Netherlands

In the first match of Group D, Euro 2024, the national teams of Poland and the Netherlands will play. The first thing that comes to mind before analyzing this confrontation is the question “Who will score?”. Let us argue in more detail:

The Polish national team played so effectively in the friendly matches before Euro 2024 that as many as 5 players were injured with varying degrees of severity. But the most important losses are Milik and Lewandowski, who will most likely miss the first game of the group stage. And even if they manage to recover, they will not be in the best shape. And both players did not have this “best shape” throughout 2024, so there remains hope that the opponent will play as badly on set pieces as the reserves of the Ukrainian national team in the friendly.

But what kind of set pieces can we talk about when the Dutch have Ake and Van Dijk in the center of defense? One of the best defenders in the Premier League, and maybe in all of Europe. But the attack problems are not as big as the Poles, but everything is still very complicated. When your team includes forwards Depay and Verkhorst, you shouldn't expect many goals. The Netherlands may score 1-2 goals, but more is questionable. In the qualifying group, the Dutch scored 17 goals in 10 matches, 9 of them against Gibraltar. A very sad sight considering Greece and Ireland in the group.
