The Netherlands national team will face the Italy national team in 3rd Place Match-up of the UEFA Nations League on Sunday, June 18, 2023. Live streaming of Netherlands vs Italy, preview, lineup predictions, and how to watch the match live broadcast, can be watched in this article.
The Netherlands and Italy will face each other in the match for third place in the Nations League which is guaranteed to be exciting and tense. Both teams have high ambitions and want to end the tournament with a win.
Both teams failed to advance to the finals after losing in the semifinals. The Netherlands had to admit Croatia’s advantage in extra time, while Italy lost dramatically to Spain after conceding a goal in the final minutes. Of course, this defeat makes both teams disappointed, but they must quickly forget and focus on this last game.
The Netherlands appeared impressive throughout this tournament. They showed an attractive and productive offensive game, thanks to contributions from the likes of Memphis Depay and Georginio Wijnaldum. Even though they lost in the semifinals, the team nicknamed Oranje did not give up easily and kept fighting until the end. Under Ronald Koeman, the Netherlands can pose a big threat to their opponents.
Italy, on the other hand, is also a team of strength and quality. They performed brilliantly at Euro 2020 and are one of the favorites in this tournament. They have star players like Ciro Immobile or Jorginho, who are able to organize and finish attacks. Under the command of Roberto Mancini, Italy has a neat and dominant playing style.
Looking at the previous meeting record, in 23 matches, Italy was superior by winning 11 wins, while the Netherlands only won 3 times, the rest were 9 draws. If you only count UEFA tournaments, the two teams have met 6 times, and Italy is still better with a record of winning 3 losing 2 drawing 1. In fact, Italy has never lost to the Netherlands in the last 7 meetings.
However, the Netherlands have a slight advantage as this is the second game in a row they have played at home, while Italy will have to continue playing away from home. This can be an important factor affecting the final outcome of the match. In addition, the Netherlands also has more motivation to win and entertain their supporters.
With the advantage of playing at home and the motivation to win, it was hoped that the Netherlands would take the lead and gain the upper hand in the first half. The foresight of players like Memphis Depay and Georginio Wijnaldum will be a driving force for the Netherlands to be able to create dangerous opportunities early in the match.
Meanwhile, Italy may give a chance to younger players like Retegui and Raspadori, who lack experience and coordination. But Italy will still carry out attacks through mainstay strikers such as Ciro Immobile and Federico Chiesa.
