Poland struggled in qualification, finishing 3rd in their group and narrowly beating Wales in the play-offs. Lewandowski misses this opening game, having picked up an injury in their last friendly before the tournament, which leaves them short of firepower.
After being in football’s wilderness for a period, the Dutch have re-emerged in recent years and were just a penalty shootout away from beating the eventual world cup winners Argentina in Qatar 18 months ago.
With Van Dijk and Ake at the back, the Dutch will be hard to break down. They have a well-balanced side, albeit without perhaps the firepower up front required to lift the trophy. The Netherlands face France in their second game and will be keen to go into that with 3 points already on the board.
When: 16th June | 2pm. – Hamburg
Pick: Netherlands Half-Time/Full-Time [Odds: 29/20]
