Match Preview
Kickstarting their Euro 2024 campaign, Poland faces a daunting task against the Netherlands in Hamburg. The Dutch are heavy favorites, boasting a strong squad and a historical edge over Poland, who haven't won against them in over 40 years.  However, Poland's fighting spirit shouldn't be discounted, especially considering their passionate home crowd (the match is actually in Germany). The key factor will likely be Robert Lewandowski's absence for Poland due to injury. Without their star striker, they'll need a tactical masterclass from the coach and a herculean effort from the entire team to snatch points.
Team-wise, the Netherlands possess a clear advantage in both attack and midfield. Their young talents are hungry for glory, while veterans like Memphis Depay provide experience. Poland, despite Lewandowski's absence, still has quality attackers in Milik and Zielinski. Their success hinges on a watertight defense and exploiting any Dutch weaknesses on the counter-attack.

Goaloo10 prediction
The Dutch are strong favorites, but underestimating a passionate Polish side at a major tournament would be a mistake. Expect a close encounter with the Netherlands edging it out potentially 2-1.

Pick: Netherlands
