Poland vs Netherlands Preview
Poland’s journey to the finals was less straightforward, as they sneaked through via a playoff. In contrast, the Netherlands qualified comfortably and now aim to claim their second European title. Poland, arriving in Germany on a five-match winning streak, hope to progress to the knockout phase despite facing a tough group-stage draw.
Poland finished third in their UEFA Euro qualification campaign and have experienced mixed form over the past year. Recently, they secured a narrow 2-1 victory against Turkey, which has boosted their confidence ahead of this fixture. This summer marks Poland’s fifth consecutive major tournament appearance, underlining their consistency on the international stage.
The Netherlands, participating in their 11th European Championship, have a rich history in the tournament. They famously lifted the trophy in 1988, the last time UEFA’s main event was held exclusively in Germany, with Marco van Basten’s memorable volley securing victory in the final. The Oranje finished second in their UEFA Euro qualification group and have been impressive over the past year. They enter this game on the back of a comprehensive 4-0 win against Iceland, showcasing their attacking prowess.

They face a challenge up front without their star striker Robert Lewandowski and Juventus forward Arkadiusz Milik. Coach Michal Probierz may have to improvise, potentially deploying Karol Swiderski as a ‘false nine,’ though he is troubled by an ankle issue. Alternatively, Krzysztof Piatek could spearhead the attack. Veteran goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, with 82 caps, will start in goal, while Italy-based Piotr Zielinski will orchestrate the midfield.
Poland Predicted XI:
Szczesny; Bednarek, Dawidowicz, Kiwior; Slisz; Frankowski, Zielinski, Piotrowski, Szymanski, Zalewski; Swiderski
