Netherlands Team News
In the semifinals of the League of Nations playoffs, after the score was 2:2 in the regular part of the game, Croatia defeated the Netherlands with two scored goals in extra time and left them with no chance of winning a new trophy. Oranje managed to take the lead in the 34th minute, with a goal by Donyell Malen, but the Croatians turned the score in their favor by the 72nd minute. The equalizer came at the very end of the regular part of the match when Noah Lang was accurate. In overtime, the Croatian national team scored two goals and reached a new final.
The Netherlands reached this part of the competition by winning first place in the fourth group A of the League of Nations, ahead of Belgium, Poland, and Wales with as many as 16 points, six more than the second-placed national team of Belgium. In the qualifiers for EURO 2024, they played two matches. In the first, they lost to France away from home at 4:0, while at home they defeated Gibraltar at 3:0.
The coach, Ronald Koeman, has no problems with injured players and should field the strongest possible squad for the upcoming match. This means that the team’s back line will be led by Virgil van Dijk and that the attack will probably include Cody Gakpo and the scorer of the last match, Donyell Malen.

Italy Team News
The players of the Italian national team lost to Spain 2:1 in the semi-final match. Already in the third minute of the game, the Spaniards took the lead, and only eight minutes later, a penalty was awarded to the Italians, and Ciro Immobile was accurate from the penalty spot. In the 21st minute, Davide Frattesi scored another goal, but it was disallowed after a VAR decision. The result remained unchanged until the 88th minute when Spain scored a goal for a new lead and a place in the final.
In the group part of the competition, the Italians finished in first place ahead of Hungary, Germany, and England, winning 11 points and only one more than the Hungarians. Before the semi-final duel with Spain, they played two games in the EURO qualifiers. In the first match, they lost to England at home 1:2, while in the second they defeated Malta away 0:2.
And Roberto Mancini, like the coach of the Netherlands, will have already players available for Sunday’s match. Gianluigi Donnarumma will probably be in goal for Italy, while Ciro Immobile should play in the heart of the attack. But we have to see.
