NED vs ITA Dream11 Prediction: Netherlands will welcome Italy for the UEFA Nations League A clash to the Johan Cruijff Arena on Monday night. The Oranje under the new management of Dwight Lodeweges produced a solid display on matchday 1 to see-off Poland by a solitary goal. The full-time result does not tell the whole story, may summarize this by the fact that their opponents hardly hard a sniff at their goal throughout the 90 minutes. On the flip side, finishing off scoring chances must improve. Italy stuttered against Bosnia in their opening game after cruising through the European qualification phase in stunning style. Coming from a tournament where they won 10 out of 10 games and scored 37 goals, much was expected of them at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. But their display was less convincing, and take nothing away from the Bosnians in the 1-1 stalemate.
