The Netherlands will face off against Italy in the third-place game of the UEFA Nations League 2023 on Sunday, June 18. The Netherlands lost the semifinals against Croatia while Italy failed to beat Spain.
The Dutch had a disappointing semifinal against Croatia as they lost 4-2 to an aging side. The game finished 2-2 after 90 minutes with Noa Lang scoring a last-minute equaliser. Bruno Petković and Luka Modrić scored in the extra time to guide them to the final. The Dutch will be disappointed after having the majority possession but will look to get a consolation win before the EURO 2024 qualifiers.
The Italians, on the other hand continue their disappointing run as all has gone down after the EURO 2020 title win. They lost 2-1 against Spain with Ciro Immobile getting the only goal for Italy, as they conceded an 88th-minute winner. It is to be noted that Roberto Mancini has never lost to the Dutch in his three matches, and they will hope to continue the run.
