Poland take on the visitors Netherlands in a World Cup 2026 qualification match. The match will be played on Fridays, November 14th at PGE Narodowy (Warsaw).
Poland remain regular participants in major tournaments. However, in recent years, their qualification campaigns have become tougher, and their final performances have often been disappointing. That was the case at last year’s Euros, yet the coach stayed on — just as after the Nations League. Eventually, Probierz even clashed with Lewandowski, stripping him of the captain’s armband. But after a series of wins in qualifying, a shocking defeat to Finland cost him his job. Urban, who replaced him, started with a draw in Rotterdam before avenging that loss to the Scandinavians. In October, his new side beat New Zealand in a friendly and Lithuania in qualifying, both without conceding. Now, they have an excellent opportunity to challenge the group leader — a win would take them to first place, even on points! Recently, Poland have shown improved organization and discipline, especially in away matches. Their unbeaten streak in autumn fixtures reflects growing confidence and a sense of stability under the new coach.

The Netherlands certainly don’t want to repeat the same mistakes. The Oranje are once again looking impressive. At the last World Cup, they only lost to Argentina in a penalty shootout, reached the Euro semifinals last summer, and later competed in the Nations League playoffs, where they held their own against Spain. Naturally, everyone expected Koeman’s team to cruise through this qualification stage. And indeed, the Dutch have produced nearly flawless results — with Depay and company often demolishing their opponents. At this point, even a draw guarantees them top spot in the group — they’re not going to lose their final game to modest Lithuania. Still, the 1-1 draw in Rotterdam means they absolutely cannot afford to lose to their main pursuer under the current tiebreaker rules. The Netherlands have been clinical in recent matches, showing strong control of possession and efficient finishing. Their confidence and consistency make them one of the most stable teams in European qualifying right now.
The Oranje haven’t lost to this opponent since 1979. Since 2000, they had won six straight before sharing the points in September. Depay and company will surely keep in mind that a draw is enough. But the opponent must take risks, and in such circumstances, the favorites should claim the win.
Prediction for the match: The Netherlands to win.
