Two games and two wins for Koeman’s Netherlands in these World Cup qualifiers. Poland has the same number of points but has played three games. We can safely say that in this group, there is no chance of anything other than a victory for the Orange team, which will take first place and also qualify for next summer’s tournament.
Ten goals scored and zero conceded in two games. Of course, it was all very easy against Malta in the previous round, who were destroyed 8-0. But it has been a long time since we have seen a Netherlands team like this, eager to score and win without thinking about anything else and, above all, without looking too much in the mirror. So Poland could also fall, and will fall, under the blows of important players who, partly because of the clubs they play for, have learned to have a different mentality than usual. That is to say: few situations and opportunities to “look in the mirror” but a desire to entertain and have fun by scoring at every possible opportunity. To be honest, only with this ruthlessness in front of goal can results be achieved.
Poland, for its part, remains a formidable national team and will try in every way to play its game, obviously trying to snatch a positive result. But at the moment, partly due to a profound generational change underway, the Netherlands should have no problems.

The prediction
The goal is definitely for the Netherlands to win. And they will. Another, not so subtle goal is to not concede any goals. And we believe that this target can also be easily achieved.
