A place in the UEFA Nations League final will be at stake when Netherlands and Croatia go head to head at De Kuip on Wednesday evening.
The Oranje did well to make it to the World Cup quarter-finals, but they kicked off their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with a massive 4-0 loss to France.
New boss Ronald Koeman believes that the mix of youth and experience in the Netherlands squad could be the key to success, but the hosts will be without important attacker Memphis Depay (injury) in the Nations League semis.
The Croats, on the other hand, continue to rely on experienced Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric, who has 164 caps for the national team.
Talented Augsburg forward Dion Drenau Belja has been left out of the squad, while Benfica forward Petar Musa is pushing for a start.
Anyhow, home win should be considered as Netherlands are eager to move closer to winning their first ever Nations League trophy.
To make things even worse for the away team, key defender Josko Gvardiol is sidelined with injury.
This match will be played on 14/06/2023 at 19:45
Prediction: 2-1
