On June 14, De Kuip (Rotterdam) will host the 1/2 final match of the Nations League Final Four in League A, in which Netherlands will compete with Croatia. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.

Netherlands

The team made its way into the final stage under the rule of van Gaal. Louis also brought his wards to Qatar, to the World Cup. And there, at least, the Dutch team did not lose its face: it managed to overcome the group stage ahead of schedule, confidently knocked out the opponent from the USA in the play-offs, after which fought back the 0-2 score in the battle against Argentina (Emiliano Martinez had to win the penalty shoot-out). Still, then the veteran of “the coaching department” left the team, as it had been announced. He was replaced by his “student”, Ronald Koeman, who had already successfully worked. Still, “the Oranges” made not the best impression with the higher mentioned mentor in March: they were crushed with a 0-4 score by France and limited themselves to a 3-0 victory in the home match against Gibraltar after such a shame. Nowadays, the staff has called the line-up, which is far from being optimal – several experienced players, led by injured Depay, are out of the application for various reasons. To tell the truth, everyone is waiting for a bright result in the following battle.

Croatia

The national team, being under Zlatko Dalić, shows consistently good results. They were not even hindered by the fact that the squad had to be seriously rejuvenated after the silver medals of the World Cup 2018 – everything is OK, fortunately, Modrić and a number of other veterans are still available. “The Checkered Ones” did not do their best at the Euro and overcame the previous qualification with a lot of difficulties. Still, 2022 was a successful year for them: the 1st place in the group of the Nations League and the bronze medals of the World Cup in Qatar. At the same time, the team started the new cycle with a misfire, losing a victory in the home battle against Wales due to a goal in extra time. Nevertheless, it was followed by a confident 2-0 success in the away match with Turkey.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The teams played their first head-to-head match at the World Cup in 1998 and the Croats won that battle for the 3rd place. There was only 1 friendly match 10 years later and the Dutch showed off, winning with a 3-0 score, there.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider Netherlands, which will play at the home arena, to be the favourite of the following battle. Still, Croatia knows how to play with strong opponents. Thus, it is reasonable to bet that the guests will not lose (odd: 1.84).
