Prediction
This match is set to be a tightly contested affair. The Netherlands, playing at home in Rotterdam, will have the advantage of their passionate supporters and a strong historical record against Poland, which they have not lost to in over a decade. However, Poland has shown a new level of determination and discipline in recent matches. The Dutch offense has been prolific, but Poland's defense is proving to be solid. I predict a close and exciting game, but with home-field advantage and a historical edge, the Netherlands are the more likely victors.
Prediction: Netherlands 2 - 1 Poland.
