Netherlands hosts Poland in round 1 of the UEFA Nations League A. The match will be played on Friday, September 4th at Johan Cruijff Arena (Amsterdam)
A few years earlier, the Netherlands national team experienced a severe recession and even lost tickets to Euro 2016 and World Cup 2018. Ronald Koeman began to lead the team out of the protracted crisis and coped with the task more than successfully. Having brought the Oranges to Euro 2020, the coach received an invitation to save the sinking Barcelona and left the national team. Temporary manager Lodeveges took his place, but a 62-years-old specialist has never been the head coach of such a stellar team. It will not be easy to give the result in a short time. The Netherlands national team is overrated due to its results in the Euro qualifiers. Although the Oranges thrashed their opponents in most of the matches, don’t forget that they met with Belarus, Estonia and Northern Ireland. It's no secret that almost all Dutch footballers play in the top leagues of Europe, the draws of which have not even started yet. Thus, most of the top players are out of shape, and key defender Blind did not even get in the final roster. His teammate, van de Beck, skips training and already thinks about Manchester United.

Undoubtedly, the absence of Lewandowski somewhat affects the attacking potential of the team. The scorer took a short leave, but he did not greatly influence the team's game during the Euro qualification. Yes, he scored six goals in 10 rounds, but he often did it in cases when the White-Reds won with a big score. However, the visitors have someone to score even without him. Forwards Milik and Piatek are on full alert, and the latter even became the second top scorer of the national team after Lewandowski in qualifying for Euro.
Piatek left Hertha's camp only three days before the match with the Netherlands and gained shape in friendly matches. Unlike the Dutch championship, the Polish one has already started, so the footballers playing at home will be much fresher than the Oranges. However, Brzeczek's men held a phenomenal qualification campaign for the Euro, having lost only once (8-1-1). In Amsterdam, they will play in front of empty stands and de facto may not be considered a visiting team. The chances of Poles not to lose with an indecent score are quite high.
Prediction for the match: Poland to win with +1.0 handicap
