Analysts consider the Dutch as the favorites of the meeting
On June 18, in the match for the third place of the League of Nations, the Netherlands national team will play with the national team of Italy. According to betting experts, the Dutch team is the favorite of the match.
Netherlands chance to win are estimated as 1×2.31. The probability of Italy winning is 1х3.1. The chance that the main time of the match will end in a draw is 1×3.65.
In the semi-finals, the Netherlands lost to Croatia after extra time. For the Oranges, the defeat against the Croats was the second in the last three matches under the leadership of Koeman, before that there was a loss to France and a victory over Gibraltar. Note that Croatia and France scored four goals against the Dutch, and this trend is definitely not encouraging.

Italy
Italy lost to Spain in the semi-finals (1:2). Not to say that Squadra Azzurra looked faded against the backdrop of the Spaniards, but Mancini’s team did not create so many moments. And in general, the attack is one of the main problems of the Italians (although it was the defense that failed in the match with Spain). Italy only once in 12 matches managed to score more than two goals, and even then – in a friendly match. At the same time, in terms of composition, it seems that the Netherlands and Italy are equal.
If so, then game discipline and attitude can come to the fore. With the first one, each of the teams experiencing perestroika has problems. With the second, it seems that the Orange will be better – they play at home, plus the stadium should help.
As we said, the Netherlands miss a lot. They don’t score as often as they would like, but I think they will find their moment. Just like the Italians, by the way. If so, it is not surprising that the probability “both teams to score” is scored as 1×1.57but the fact that “the total of the match will be more than 2.5” 1×1.72.
