Poland vs Netherlands Predicted line-ups and latest news, – June 16, 2024

The UEFA Euro 2024 Championship in Germany is gaining momentum. Following yesterday's opening match between the tournament hosts and Scotland, today's schedule will see a full slate of three matches per day. Tomorrow, one of the top matches will be between Poland and the Netherlands.

Poland secured their spot in the Euro finals through a tough battle. After finishing third in their qualifying group, they entered the playoffs, first facing Estonia, whom they comfortably defeated, and then overcoming Wales in a penalty shootout. Following this, Poland played two friendly matches, confidently defeating Ukraine (3-1) and later overcoming Turkey (2-1).

The Netherlands earned a direct spot in the Euro finals through qualification. In their group, they finished second only to France, leaving three other opponents behind. During the international break in March, they thrashed Scotland (4-0) but lost to Germany (1-2). Ahead of the tournament in early June, they repeated their 4-0 result against both Canada and Iceland.

It is likely that Poland and the Netherlands will battle for second place in their group, as France is the favorite to claim the top spot. Thus, this match could be crucial for determining the fate of both teams in the group stage.

Both teams approach this match with minor squad losses. However, it was previously reported that Poland's star player and Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski will miss this match due to an injury sustained in his last game for the national team. The Polish national team staff is doing everything possible to ensure their talisman recovers for the next match. For the Netherlands, Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee's participation remains in doubt.

During the pre-match press conference, Poland's head coach Michal Probierz made it clear that his team is determined to win and does not fear their formidable opponent. He said:

"We respect the Netherlands, but we do not fear them. We want to play a good match and prove that we have taken another step in the development of our national team."

Meanwhile, the Dutch Football Association stated that their players are in high spirits and ready to showcase their best at the tournament. Leading up to the match, much attention has been given to fan engagement and boosting team morale.

Both coaches will undoubtedly utilize their team's full potential in the upcoming match in an attempt to secure three points, fielding their strongest players. The Dailysports team has prepared information on the likely starting lineups, based on the coaches' previous decisions.
