The Dutch national team has won five of their last eight home competitive matches, scoring an average of 3.25 goals, but they have also consistently conceded (Bosnia 2, Germany 2, Spain 2). The Polish defense is shaky away: since fall 2024, they've conceded 2 goals to Scotland, 1 to Croatia, 5 to Portugal. However, the Eagles have scored in two-thirds of their away matches, and Lewandowski's return adds further attacking strength.

• The Dutch attacking machine is above average (3.25 GF at home), while the Polish defense shows above-average losses (2.67 GA).
• At least three goals were scored in the last four competitive matches of both teams.
• In the last four Rotterdam matches of the Dutch, both teams scored every time.
• The form and home advantage clearly suggest an Oranje victory.

The data thus forecast a goal-rich encounter with Dutch dominance, although the Polish attack is not without a chance for an honorary goal. The biggest risks are the unpredictability due to the new Polish national coach and Depay's possible individual motivation to aim for a scoring record, but even so, the statistics tilt the balance towards the selected markets.
