Match Overview
Poland take on the Netherlands in their opening encounter of the upcoming European Championships at the Volksparkstadion on Sunday, June 16. Poland may appear to be slightly undercooked ahead of this game in front of the Dutch who look like a solid unit and will be keen on expressing their potential to the fullest.
Key Highlights
Although Poland have quite a few top individual players in their ranks, one has rarely seen them do well as a team or as a combined unit. They will have to do so if they are to compete against the Dutch in this game. Poland have a lot of good attacking players who will face tough challenges from the Dutch defenders and will have to come up trumps.
Injury Report
While Karol Swiderski is expected to come back only in July, star striker Robert Lewandowski is a doubtful starter for Poland in this game owing to a muscle injury.
Prediction
The Netherlands are the downright favourites to win this game and we expect them to do so quite comfortably. They are much stronger than their opponents Poland in all three aspects of the game be it attack, midfield or defence, and this will keep them in good stead in this match. Poland will not be able to withstand the Dutch test.
