Surprising news ahead for Poland – the Netherlands. It’s hard to believe!
Friday’s Poland-Netherlands match at the PGE National Stadium in Warsaw promises to be interesting. However, looking at history, it is exceptionally brutal for Poles.
A big challenge awaits Polish footballers on Friday late evening. The Dutch national team is certainly a top-class rival. However, it is clear that Poles are optimistic about the Polish-Dutch clash on the pitch.
A difficult task ahead of the Polish national team. Matty Cash admitted it outright
The last goal for Poland against the Netherlands was scored by Matty Cash. He, together with Jan Urban, were guests during the obligatory pre-match meeting with journalists. The player who plays for English Aston Villa is optimistic about Friday’s challenge at PGE Narodowy.
– Competing against the Netherlands is a great opportunity to show what we can do against a high-quality opponent. We have already shown in our last matches that we have a lot of quality and I can say that we are a difficult team to play against. We have quality and a great coach who gives us very good tactics. I hope that everything will work as it should tomorrow and we will be able to enjoy a good result. I am very excited about this match, admitted the defender of the Polish national team during a press conference in Warsaw on Thursday.
It is worth adding that since Jan Urban became the coach of the national team, the team has not lost a single match, either friendly or for qualifying points.
Poland – Netherlands at PGE Narodowy. Will the hosts beat the favorite?
The match in Warsaw will be a clash between the runner-up and the leader of Group G. Moreover, in the first qualifying match between the Dutch and the Poles in Rotterdam, it ended in a draw (1:1). The Poles will certainly want to show their good side again, having as their rival a leading team not only in Europe, but also on a global scale.
The Polish national team is fighting to advance to the third consecutive World Championship, having previously qualified for both the tournament in Qatar (2022) and the World Cup abroad (2018). If such a feat were successful, Poland would achieve such a result – i.e. three World Cup qualifications in a row – for the first time since 1986. That is, the golden times of Polish football, led by, among others, with World Championship medals of the national team of coaches Antoni Piechniczek and previously Kazimierz Górski.
The Dutch have not lost against the Poles in the last 14 matches, of which they won seven in the previous nine matches. Oranje need a draw at the PGE Narodowy to ensure promotion to next year’s World Cup. The last time Poland beat the Netherlands was in… May 1979, during the Euro 1980 qualifiers. Then the goals for the Poles were scored by Zbigniew Boniek and Włodzimierz Mazur.
The Poland-Netherlands match will take place on Friday (November 14) at the PGE Narodowy in Warsaw. The referee’s first whistle at 20:45. The broadcast will be carried out by TVP1 and TVP Sport. Additionally, it will be possible to use the TVP Sport website and a specially dedicated mobile application of the sports public station TVP.
