Italy v Netherlands Team News

Following Italy manager Roberto Mancini's maiden defeat as national team coach on Friday, he said his team will take confidence from the promising performance put on by an Italy side that introduced four debutants at Allianz Riviera, and that they would reach an equal footing with France in a year or so if they keep on working in this direction.

Statistically, though, Italy had looked no worse team against France, who are predetermined favourites at the finals in Russia this summer, committing more shots goalwards but only one hit the target out of 15 fired, to France's three from 12 attempts.

The Flying Dutchmen will have also been confined to playing only friendlies since they failed to make it to the finals finishing third behind France and Sweden in their respective qualifying group, just about until the newly launched Nations League goes into action in September 2018.

This will be Ronald Koeman's fourth international game as manager of Netherlands since succeeding Dick Advocaat on 6 February 2018 - twenty years since he was assistant to Guus Hiddink during the 1998 World Cup - and he has thus far recorded one win (3-0 away vs Portugal), one loss (1-0 home to England) and one draw 1-1 with Slovakia.
