Poland are set to face The Netherlands tonight at the PGE Narodowy in the Nations League.
Poland will be welcoming the Dutch after a 1-0 loss to Roberto Martinez’s Belgium. The Eagles will be highly dependent upon Robert Lewandowski considering they do not possess the same quality in all positions. They currently sit 3rd in group D after managing to grab just one win in four matches so far.
Contrastingly, the Netherlands have been flying high as they currently sit on top of the group unbeaten. The Netherlands defeated wales in a tough game that ended in a 3-2 scoreline. They have quality in all positions and are likely to reach the latter stages of the competition under the guidance of head coach Louis van Gaal.

POL vs NED: Who is going to Win this match?
Poland are currently dependent on the goal-scoring prowess of Robert Lewandowski. However, they will need to put out a solid defensive display if they wish to grab a result against the Netherlands.
The Netherlands have shown that they can dismantle any team when it comes to controlling the tempo of the game. In Addition to being strong in defense and creative in the midfield, the Dutch also need to be on their A-game when finishing chances. If Louis Van Gaal can put the tactics right, the Netherlands will be winning this game easily.
Thus, the Netherlands have a slight edge over Poland and will be expected to win.
