The Netherlands have grown into a formidable force over the past year and will look to top their group. The Dutch side were given a scare by Wales this week and will need to be more clinical in this game.
Poland can pack a punch on their day but have been plagued by inconsistency in recent months. The Netherlands are in better form at the moment and should be able to win this match.
