Will the Orly make it exciting again?

Actually, the starting position for the Polish national soccer team in Group G of the European World Cup qualifiers could have been so good. On September 4, the Orly finally fought their way to a 1-1 draw away in Amsterdam, which could have been important in a direct comparison with the Elftal. However, this was preceded by a 1-2 defeat in Finland, which still leaves the Bialo-Czerwoni (English: the White-Reds) three points behind. If Poland beats the Netherlands at home, Jan Urban’s team could make things exciting again.

To do so, however, the Orly would have to end a long dry spell. The Orly haven’t won an international match against the Elftal since 1979, and there’s not much to suggest that this long wait will come to an end now of all times. After all, the Oranje are currently unbeaten in ten international matches (six wins, four draws), even though they faced European champions Spain twice in the Nations League during this period. Nevertheless, the Bialo-Czerwoni will certainly give it their all once again, which is why we find the greatest value in betting on both teams to score.

Robert Lewandowski in particular is usually difficult to take out of the game, which is why the odds for a goal from the ever-present striker should also be considered in Poland vs. Netherlands. Although this bet did not make it into our top three tips, the Bet365 app offers strong odds of 2.40 for a goal by the 37-year-old Barca star, which certainly promises value.

Poland – Netherlands Head-to-head record

Head to head: 3 – 7 – 10

There have been 20 international matches between the two nations, with the Netherlands leading the head-to-head record very clearly with ten wins. Poland has only beaten the Elftal three times so far, with the last defeat actually dating back to the 1980 European Championship qualifiers. Since then, there have been twelve consecutive matches without a win for the Orly (four draws, eight defeats).

Poland – Netherlands Tip

All in all, our prediction for Poland vs. the Netherlands is that the Elftal will win a point, which would be a huge step towards a direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup with a draw in Warsaw. Next Monday, another draw against Lithuania in Amsterdam would then be enough. The Oranje have enough offensive power to score against the Orly. The Dutch scored an impressive 22 goals in the first six matchdays, with Memphis Depay alone scoring seven times.

In order to hedge against as many eventualities as possible, especially in a heated game, we recommend betting on both teams to score. Bet365 is offering odds of 1.67 for Poland vs. Netherlands, which we are betting on with six out of ten units.
