The Netherlands – Poland will play on Friday, September 4, starting with 19:45 in the League of Nations. The match will be played at the Johan Cruijff Stadium in Amsterdam and will be led from the center by the Bulgarian Georgi Kabakov.
After Ronald Koeman left for Barcelona, Dwight Lodeweges, the 2018 batsman’s assistant, was appointed interim coach. It is noteworthy that the Netherlands was a finalist in the 2018-2019 season of the League of Nations, being defeated in the last act by Portugal 1-0. In fact, this was the last defeat suffered by the “mechanical orange”. Since then, the Netherlands has recorded a draw and 5 victories in the EURO qualifiers, among which we note a 4-2 success in Germany and we highlight the fact that in all the 5 games won, the Batavians scored at least two goals.
On the other hand, like his opponent, Poland comes after qualifying for the European Championship next summer after winning 8 of the 10 matches in the group. It is noteworthy that the visiting team is looking for the first victory in the League of Nations, after in the 2018-2019 edition, it collected only two points in a group with Italy and Portugal.
Probably the most important aspect of this confrontation is the absence of Robert Lewandowski from the guest group. Certainly Ronald Koeman’s departure also left some traces in the hosts’ camp, but the Netherlands remains with the first chance to win.
