After a disappointing result against Bosnia, Italy will be hoping for a better performance as they travel to face current group leaders Netherlands. Live Soccer TV's match preview provides match facts, team news, and global broadcast listings for Netherlands vs Italy.

Preview: Netherlands vs Italy

Following their gritty 1-0 win over Poland, the Netherlands will be seeking to make it two wins out of two as they welcome Italy on Monday evening. The Oranje ended up as runners-up in the inaugural Nations League tournament following their 1-0 loss to Portugal, and they are now under the guidance of an interim manager following Ronald Koeman's departure to Barcelona. Should they win this game, it will set them up quite nicely ahead of their next batch of games next month, which will see them take on Bosnia and then Italy at home.

However, the Netherlands don't have the best track record against Italy. They've won just three of their past 21 meetings with the Azzurri, and although the visitors are coming into this match having dropped two points in a disappointing draw with Bosnia which ended their 11 match winning streak, they're still unbeaten in their last 12 across all competitions. In addition, that's just the fifth goal they have conceded in their last 11 games, with four of those coming in their 10 matches during EURO 2020 (now 2021) qualifiers.

Unlike their hosts, Italy had a very poor showing in the Nations League last time around, and so will want to put on a better performance in their second appearance in this competition. In the inaugural tournament, they ended up winning just one of their group stage games and finished second in their trio behind eventual competition winners Portugal.

Team news: Netherlands vs Italy

Netherlands: Stefan de Vrij had to leave the team due to an injury, but otherwise, the hosts are expected to largely use the same starting XI that beat Poland last week.

Italy: Federico Bernardeschi remains out following leaving the group due to a muscular issue. Unlike his tactical opponent, Mancini could rotate his squad for this upcoming fixture.
