UEFA Nations League
Netherlands vs Italy
Neither side was at their best last week, which is understandable given that they were both playing their first respective games in nearly a year. Nevertheless, they avoided defeat despite not firing on all cylinders which is a testament to how difficult to break down they have both become.
The Netherlands have now kept clean sheets in five of their last eight games including against both Germany and France, and during their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign they conceded just seven times.
Italy for their part let in a mere four goals during the 10 matches in their qualifying campaign and opposing a high-scoring encounter on Monday night makes plenty of sense.
