International football takes full focus this evening as the Netherlands take on Croatia for a spot in the 2023 UEFA Nations League final.
The Oranje were successful the last time they reached this stage of the competition in 2019 after a 3-1 win over England in extra-time.
But the Dutch fell short in the final and haven’t come close to silverware since after failing to qualify for Euro 2020.
The Netherlands then had a mixed World Cup after they crashed out on penalties to eventual winners Argentina in the quarter-finals.
Croatia also saw their dreams of glory in Qatar ended by the La Albiceleste but are no strangers from upsetting the big nations.
- Netherlands XI: Bijlow, Aké, Van Dijk, Geertruida, Dumfries, De Jong, Koopmeiners, Wieffer, Simons, Gakpo, Malen
- Croatia XI: Livakovic, Perisic, Vida, Sutalo, Juranovic, Kovacic, Brozovic, Modric, Ivanusec, Kramaric, Pasalic
