ITALY v NETHERLANDS BETTING PREVIEW

The Azzurri will be looking to put the disappointment of the 2014 World Cup behind them. They were knocked out in the group stages. After beating England in the first game Prandelli's men fell to 1-0 defeats against both Costa Rica and Uruguay. After this disappointing campaign, former Juventus coach Antonio Conte has been appointed.

The likes of Osvaldo and Paletta were forced to withdraw, with Fabio Quagliarella and Angelo Ogbonna called as their replacements. Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini looks set to miss out, while Ciro Immobile and new boy Simone Zaza are expected to start up front. Andrea Pirlo is injured, Mario Balotelli and Antonio Cassano have been left out, while Emmanuele Giaccherini, Cristian Maggio, Stephan El Shaarawy have been recalled.

Netherlands had a good World Cup campaign. They reached the semi finals, but the longer the tournament went on, the worse they got in terms of performance levels. They didn’t score a goal in either of their quarter or semi final matches. Anyway, following that impressive display, Guus Hiddink has taken over from Louis van Gaal

Memphis Depay is set for a start in attack alongside captain Robin van Persie. Robben, Huntelaar, van der Vaart, Vlaar and Clasie have all withdrawn through injury. Hiddink has called up Celtic’s Virgil van Dijk and PSG’s Gregory van der Wiel as replacements.

The last time that we saw these two nations come together was back in February of 2013. The two played out a 1-1 draw thanks to a last minute equaliser from Italy in Holland.
