Italy vs Netherlands Team News
Frank De Boer saw his less than impressive start to life as new Netherlands boss continue, as his Dutch side struggled to a drab 0-0 draw against Bosnia.ÂThe match saw Les Oranjes dominate proceedings for an extended period, but a distinct lack of quality in front of goal meant that they were unable to convert their chances, eventually having to settle for a draw.Â
Netherlands have failed to find the net in either of their first two fixtures under De Boer, and they’re currently placed second behind Italy in Group 1 of the UEFA Nations League A, with four points from their three matches so far.Â
And if this poor run of form continues, last year’s finalists are in real danger of missing out on next year’s finals.
Italy, same as the visitors, were held to a goalless draw by a Robert Lewandowski led Poland side. The Italians were in control for majority of the game, but a blunt performance from the front three ensured the spoils would be shared on the night.Â
With 5 points from the opening 3 games, Italy sit top of Group 1, and are poised to secure passage to the Play Offs for the UEFA Nations League.Â
However, with just one point separating the Italians from the chasing pack, they can’t afford to slip up at this moment, and motivation will be high to see this to the end.
The reverse fixture between these two sides ended in a 0-1 away win for Italy, and the Italians are now unbeaten in their last five matches against Les Oranjes – winning three and drawing two of these such encounters.Â

Italy vs Netherlands Predictions
Netherlands have struggled for form in recent outings, and the obvious choice would be to pick Italy for a home win in this encounter. However, the quality in the Dutch side is undeniable, and this might well be the match they decide to turn up the heat. Furthermore, Frank De Boer will be desperate to prove he is the right man for the job, and what better way is there to make a statement than secure a win against a tough Italian side?Both sides are evenly matched in quality, hence it might not be the wisest move to pick a straight winner. If you desire a strong bet that guarantees good value for your odds, then you can stake on the under 2.5 goals option. Both teams will be cautious of making mistakes, hence this is one match that might not see a lot of action.
