Poland need a win to keep their hopes of winning the group alive, which would secure them a direct World Cup place. Under new coach Jan Urban, Poland has scored at least one goal in each of their four matches. On the other hand, the Netherlands are having a fantastic qualifying campaign, remaining undefeated and thus having the best chance of winning their group. This would secure them a place on the list of confirmed participants for the 2026 World Cup. The hosts are clearly the underdogs in the betting odds. Poland are strong at home anyway, having won all three World Cup qualifying matches and only conceding one goal. The qualities of the Dutch speak for themselves. Three wins in three away games, three goals scored per game on average and only two goals conceded.
