It would take a small disaster scenario for the Netherlands not to qualify for the World Cup. Leader of their group with 16 points in this qualifying campaign, the Oranje are in a favorable position. But they must finish the job at this last international gathering of the year.
And that’s good, since Virgil van Dijk and his teammates could definitively punch their ticket to America in the event of a victory this Friday against Poland (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.). Robert Lewandowski’s team is only three points behind the Netherlands in the standings. A Dutch success would keep Poland at bay before the final match. Otherwise, all the cards would be redistributed…
The expected compositions
Poland: Dragowski; Wisniewski, Kedziora, Kiwior; Cash, Slisz, Zielinski, Skoras; Szymanski, Lewandowski, Kaminski.
The Netherlands : Verbruggen; Dumfries, Timber, Van Dijk, Van de Ven; Gravenberch, De Jong; Malen, Kluivert, Gakpo; Memphis
Where to watch the match?
This match between Poland and the Netherlands will be broadcast this Friday on L’Equipe Live Foot, from 8:45 p.m.
