In doing so, and leaving no doubts, the Netherlands secured their direct ticket to the next World Cup, avoiding a potential playoff. One of Europe’s giants will be present next year in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

With this result, Poland finished in second place, which means Robert Lewandowski and his team will have to secure their spot in the next World Cup through a playoff.

Chasing their first title

The Netherlands are setting their sights on the upcoming 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico with the singular goal of finally capturing the sport’s biggest prize.

This tournament will mark the nation’s 12th World Cup appearance, a history highlighted by three agonizing runner-up finishes in 1974, 1978, and 2010. The Oranje have long been a powerhouse without a title, and they will be fiercely determined to overcome past heartbreaks and secure their inaugural World Cup championship on North American soil.

A generation that inspires hope

The Netherlands are banking on an exciting new generation of talent as they aim to finally conquer the world stage. This squad boasts an impressive core featuring world-class defensive stalwart Virgil van Dijk and dynamic center-back Matthijs de Ligt.

Fueling the midfield are the creative vision of Frenkie de Jong and the energy of Tijjani Reijnders, while the attack is spearheaded by the electrifying scoring ability of Cody Gakpo.

Koeman is at the helm of a squad brimming with extraordinary talent, aiming to make a big impact and win its first World Cup trophy—toppling none other than the reigning champions, Argentina.

The Netherlands drew 1–1 with Poland in their previous outing and now sit on 17 points from a possible 21, with five wins and two draws. Their path will be settled in this final matchday. Meanwhile, Lithuania arrive after a 0–0 draw with Israel in an international friendly.

Poland struck first through Jakub Kaminski in the 43rd minute and briefly dreamed of taking control of the group. However, Memphis Depay equalized just two minutes into the second half, earning a draw that kept the Netherlands firmly in control of their qualifying campaign.

Lithuania remain bottom of the group with only three points. They come into this match having tied Israel in a friendly and carrying three straight qualifying losses: 2–0 against Poland, 2–1 against Finland, and 3–2 against the Netherlands. With no stakes left for them, they essentially play only for pride.

What happens if the Netherlands win vs Lithuania?

A win would secure the Netherlands’ place in the 2026 World Cup, a result that is widely expected as they lead the group and stand one step away from clinching their ticket. Lithuania, already eliminated, would not change their position. Only Poland and the Netherlands remain in contention for qualification spots.

It is also important to note that no other team in the group has anything left to play for. Poland already secured a playoff berth with 14 points, while Finland sit on 10 and cannot catch them.

What happens if the Netherlands and Lithuania tie?

A tie would also send the Netherlands through, as their goal differential advantage over Poland is overwhelming (19 to 6). An additional point would be enough to confirm their place, while Poland would continue on to the playoff round.

What happens if the Netherlands lose vs Lithuania?

Even with a loss, the Netherlands are virtually guaranteed qualification. The only scenario that would deny them the top spot is losing by a margin of 12 goals or more against Lithuania, a highly improbable outcome. Barring that, the Netherlands will be in the World Cup.

But there is another unlikely scenario that could send them to the playoffs. A narrow defeat, such as 1–0 against Lithuania, would place them at risk only if Poland defeat Malta by a margin of 12 goals or more, which would allow Poland to overtake them on goal differential.

They’re up against two opponents with contrasting profiles, as the Netherlands sit atop the group and are closing in on a direct World Cup berth after a 1-1 draw with Poland. The Dutch enter as heavy favorites and have every reason to expect three points, given their quality and depth.

On the other side, Lithuania isn’t considered a contender for the top spot, but the matchup gives them a rare opportunity to test themselves against one of Europe’s elite, and they’ll be eager to put on a strong showing.

Hungary have indeed experienced significant growth in its football in recent years. Historically, they have been a formidable force in soccer, having reached two World Cup finals. The 1954 Hungarian team is particularly revered, often regarded as one of the best teams in history. However, the past three decades have not been particularly successful for them.

In the UEFA Nations League, Hungary did not qualify for the final phases, but they managed to maintain their category in a challenging group where England were ultimately relegated. Now, they aim to translate their improved performance into positive results in the ongoing qualifiers, where they find themselves among the main favorites alongside Serbia. Their upcoming match against Lithuania provides an opportunity to secure three points since this team is considered a weaker team with limited aspirations.

This will be their fourth overall meeting. No surprises here as Bulgaria are the obvious favorites in head-to-head clashes, having celebrated a victory on two occasions so far. Lithuania has one victory to this day, and no matches ended in a draw.

Their last match was played on October 9, 2021, when the Lithuanians won 3-1 in a World Cup qualifier match. It promises to be an even more exciting clash as these two countries clash for the first time since then, this time in the qualification stage for the 2024 European Championship.

Serbia were able to qualify for the World Cup, but their performance there was disappointing. They finished last in the first round with just one point in three games, so they will be looking forward to changing that image. The Serbians must take advantage of being the best team of this sector in order to be in the next Euro.

Lithuania are a much less talented roster than their opponents. It’s not going to be easy for them ending in the first two places, although the other rivals are of similar potential. Their participation in the Nations League was very concerning since they finished last in their group at the third level.

With Group 1 of League C already defined, and Turkey‘s promotion to League B confirmed, as well as Lithuania‘s relegation to League D, this Matchday already has little of interest and even more so if we take into account that none of all four members will go to the World Cup, so it could not even serve as preparation for Qatar.

However, it should be noted that it is a participation that could be described as historic for Luxembourg, who have really had a very good performance, especially in Matchday 5 where they were a few minutes away from beating Turkey. Clearly it would be good to close this good participation in the best way. For Lithuania, simply to finish in the most dignified way possible.

Turkey are doing everything right in the Nations League, three perfect games where the team won against Faroe Island 4-0, Lithuania 6-0 and Luxembourg. Turkey’s offensive attack is lethal, they are scoring an average of 4 goals per game and the team’s defense is strong with no goals against so far.

Lithuania are in the last spot of the standings with three defeats, and a minus-9 goal difference that highlights the weak defense of the team this year. Lithuania won an international friendly against San Marino 2-1 but after that victory they lost another friendly game and three Nations League games as well.

Turkey are considered the big favorites of Group C1, they share the group with Lithuania, Luxembourg and Faroe Islands, relatively easy rivals for them.
