The UEFA Nations League is back in action with another set of matches as Poland take on the Netherlands on Saturday. The Dutch side have been impressive this year and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Poland are in third place in Group 4 at the moment and have not been at their best since the turn of the year. The away side suffered a damaging 6-1 defeat against Belgium last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, are at the top of their group and have been exceptional so far. The Oranje edged Wales to a 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Netherlands vs Poland Head-to-Head
The Netherlands have a good record against Poland and have won eight of the 17 matches played between the two teams. Poland have managed three victories against the Dutch side and will look to cut the deficit on Saturday.
The previous meeting between the two European sides took place in 2020 and ended in a 2-1 victory for the Netherlands. Poland gave a good account of themselves on the day and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
