Memphis Depay is already the leading goal-scorer in this group with three goals (and an assist), while Donyell Malen has two goals and an assist to his name.
Oranje are now unbeaten in their last six matches in regulation time and scored two or more goals in five of those games. The only defeat they have suffered in 90 minutes in their last 10 games was against Germany.
Meanwhile, many feel that the winner of this match will likely go on to secure top spot in the group (and secure direct qualification).
However, after back-to-back 2-0 victories over Malta and Moldova in this competition, the Owls suffered a setback in their last match, losing 2-1 to Finland on the road. Still, they have now only failed to score in one of their last 10 matches across all competitions.
Poland have lost seven of their last eight matches against this opponent (D1 L7) and have not beaten them since 1979.

Netherlands vs Poland prediction
The Netherlands have a very strong squad at the moment, and Ronald Koeman appears to be doing a good job with the UEFA EURO 2024 semi-finalists. The Oranje began qualification for next summer with a comfortable win in Helsinki against Finland before annihilating an improving Malta side by eight goals to nil in June.
They now face a Poland side that have again made a change with Jan Urdum replacing Michal Probierz in the dugout. It has been a difficult few years for the Polish as they continue to stagnate, and it would not be a surprise if they now finally missed out on a major tournament, which they haven’t done since the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
