Thursday's Football Bet of the Day

Netherlands to win & over 2.5 goals

Netherlands vs Poland
World Cup qualifying Group A, 7.45pm Thursday

Poland lost 2-1 to Finland in their last World Cup qualifying Group A fixture in June and they face a daunting trip to the Netherlands on Thursday.

The hosts are in formidable form at home under Ronald Koeman, scoring 13 goals in Nations League clashes with Bosnia, Germany, Hungary and Spain before an 8-0 demolition of Malta in World Cup qualifying.

Backing the Dutch to win a game featuring over 2.5 goals looks a solid bet as Liverpool's Jeremie Frimpong is their only significant injury absentee.

Poland captain Robert Lewandowski has returned to the fold under new manager Jan Urban, who succeeded Michal Probierz in July.

However, Urban has concerns at the other end of the pitch as the Poles conceded 16 goals in six Nations League games against Portugal, Croatia and Scotland.
