Preview
Poland is making it’s 5th consecutive European Championship appearance, and they draw the Netherlands in the first match of the Group Stages. While Poland finished last in Group E in EURO 2020, but they advanced to the Quarter Finals in 2016 before losing on penalties to eventual European Champions Portugal.
Netherlands has played in 10 European Championships to date, and 2024 with mark the 11th time they have qualified for the tournament. The Dutch were champions of Europe back in 1988 with a 2-0 win over the Soviet Union in the Final. Their odds to win this year’s tournament are +$1,600 at BET365.
Poland
- 0-1-2 Last EURO in 2020
- 4-3-3 EURO Qualifiers
- 3-0-2 Last 5 matches
Poland finished last in Group E in EURO 2020, with a draw and two losses. They conceded a late goal in the 94th minute in their final match versus Sweden, losing by a score of 3-2.
Superstar forward Robert Lewandowski is four years older, and he isn’t the same player he was earlier in his career. He’s scored 13 goals for Barcelona in 29 games this season, 10 fewer than he scored in 33 games last year. Lewandowski scored 41 goals in 28 matches with Bayern Munich in the 2020-2021 season, and somehow the Ballon d’Or eluded him.
Netherlands
- 3-0-1 Last EURO in 2020
- 6-0-2 EURO Qualifiers
- 4-1-0 Last 5 matches
The Netherlands were dominant in the Group Stages at EURO 2020, finishing first in the group with a 3-0-0 record and a +6 goal differential.
They suffered a shock 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Czech Republic in the round of 16. For a team that has finished in the Top 3 in five of their 11 appearances at the tournament, expectations are always high.
France will be the favorite to win Group D, and the Dutch lost 2-1 versus France on October 13, 2023 in a qualifying match.
Relevant Trends
- Poland conceded just three goals in their last five matches.
- Netherlands conceded just three goals in their last five matches.
- The total has gone OVER in Netherlands last three matches.
- The total has gone UNDER in four of Poland’s last five matches.
- Netherlands is 4-0-1 in the last five head to head meetings versus Poland.
PREDICTION: NETHERLANDS 2, POLAND 1
Netherlands is the favorite in this match, and for good reason. They have four wins and a draw in their last five versus Poland, and they cruised in their qualifying matches. Poland needed a win on penalties versus Wales to clinch one of the last spots in the tournament. Robert Lewandowski at age 35 is not the player he was back in 2016. The Dutch have superior talent, a younger group of star players and we expect them to do just enough to win this match by a score of 2-1

The Dutch always choke in international competitions, maybe they get out of the Group Stages but they ain’t going far in the knockout round.
