Netherlands vs Poland: Predictions
The Netherlands should ax to grind in this tournament, because they became the first-ever runner-up in the League of Nations last year.
After getting to the final of the inaugural edition of this contest, they were beaten by Portugal for the purpose. After several near-misses on the international stage for many years, it was another painful loss for the team.
However, they are determined to make up for it this time. They will certainly hope to start on the right note.
Until now, they have won every one of their fixtures bar one, since their loss against Portugal, and their only loss in the last three years have come against some of the best teams in the world - the UK, France and Germany.
In addition, they are also at home, and taking a team without their captain and their best player.
Happen, for many years, the Netherlands has always done well against this opponent. In fact, not only have they won four of five previous clashes as a whole, but they did not lose a match against rivals since 1979.
Taking into account these observations, expect in the form of the Netherlands to secure the win over Poland under the hand this weekend.
