Netherlands vs Poland Prediction

Oranje have won their first two games in the qualifiers while keeping clean sheets and will look to continue that form here. Notably, they are on a nine-game winning streak at home in the World Cup qualifiers, keeping seven clean sheets. They have scored at least six goals in three of their last four home games in the qualifiers.

Jeremie Frimpong is a key absentee from their squad as the right-back is nursing a hamstring injury. Ronald Koeman has called up Robin Roefs and Sem Steijn for the first time in the senior team. Memphis Depay overcame a hamstring injury and is in contention to start.

The White-Reds suffered their first loss of the ongoing qualifying campaign in June and will look to bounce back here. One of their three wins against the hosts was registered in the World Cup qualifiers in 1969.

Robert Lewandowski is back in the squad after withdrawing from the team during June's international break, as he was stripped of the national team's captaincy.

The hosts have scored two goals apiece in their last four games in this fixture, and considering their home record in the qualifiers, we back them to register a comfortable win.

Prediction: Netherlands 3-1 Poland
