Poland Form
Poland are almost certain to secure second place in Group G and advance to World Cup qualifying playoffs, winning four out of six games so far.
They were lucky to snatch a point in their first match against Netherlands 1-1 in early September, which was also Jan Urban’s debut as the new head coach, ending that match with 0.30-1.24 xG, just 26% possession and 6-14 shots.
The Poles did much better in terms of control in next two games, beating Finland 3-1 at home and most recently Lithuania 2-0 on the road, Robert Lewandowski scoring on both occasions.
Netherlands Form
Netherlands are just one point away from earning a spot at the World Cup 2026, dominating Group G so far with five victories, one draw and a 22-3 goal difference.
The only slip up was against Poland at home 1-1 where they had full control and missed plenty of goal chances, Denzel Dumfries being their top scorer.
Ronald Koeman’s side responded with three straight victories after that, beating Lithuania 3-2, Malta 4-0 and Finland 4-0, allowing just 1.34 xG total in these three encounters.
Memphis Depay has been their standout performer in the qualifiers, registering seven goals and four assists.
