Seeking to tighten their grip on top spot in World Cup qualifying Group G, the Netherlands will take on Poland at the National Stadium in Warsaw on Friday night.
The two nations are neck-and-neck at the top of the section, with just one place and one point separating the pair ahead of the final two rounds of fixtures.
That being said, a win for the Netherlands in either of their final two matches would almost certainly see them secure section honours given their superior goal difference.
Ronald Koeman’s team will enter this clash off the back of a pair of 4-0 wins over Malta and Finland.
As for Poland, they have also won each of their last two matches, defeating both Finland and Lithuania.
While topping the section will be a tall order, a minimum of one point from their final two group games would guarantee the Eagles a play-off berth.
How the bookies view it: Dutch to deliver
The bookies expect the Netherlands to come out on top on Friday night, with an away win priced up at 6/10 on BOYLE Sports.
Poland are as big as 15/4 to inflict what would be a first Group G defeat on the Netherlands, while the draw has been priced up at 11/4 with the same firm.
Head to head: History against the hosts
Netherlands have held the upper hand in this fixture, winning 10 of the overall 21 meetings between the pair, while Poland have triumphed on just three occasions. The duo have also played out eight draws – the most recent of which was a 1-1 stalemate in the reverse fixture back in September.
Players to watch: Cash in on Cash
Typically deployed in a right-wing back role when representing Poland, Matty Cash looks well worthy of support to register a minimum of one shot on target at 11/4 with PaddyPower. Cash has hit the target once or more in five of his last six appearances on the international stage.
Only Erling Haland (12) has scored more goals than Memphis Depay (7) during the current World Cup qualifying campaign. The Dutch ace is an 11/10 anytime goalscorer option on BOYLE Sports.
Predicted line-ups
Jan Bednarek and Lukasz Skorupski will miss each of Poland's two final group games due to injury.
Netherlands boss Koeman will be unable to call upon the services of injured duo Jeremie Frimpong and Wout Weghorst.
Poland: Dragowski; Wisniewski, Kedziora, Kiwior; Cash, Slisz, Zielinski, Skoras; Szymanski, Lewandowski, Kaminski
Netherlands: Verbruggen; Dumfries, Timber, Van Dijk, Van de Ven; Gravenberch, De Jong; Malen, Kluivert, Gakpo; Memphis
Anything else catch the eye?
Both teams got on the scoresheet when the duo squared off in Rotterdam earlier this year, and a repeat here looks more than fair at 7/10 (BOYLE Sports) given the dynamics of the group.
It’s also worth noting that this bet would have landed during the Netherlands’ subsequent away game at Lithuania.
Elsewhere, Poland earned four corners when the two teams last went toe-to-toe, making them a value option to earn four or more during Friday night’s showdown at 10/11 on Bet365.
