The curtain falls on Sunday (18/6) in the Netherlands Nations League 2023. Two finals, one small and one large and… as many historic opportunities.
The title date is that of 21:45 in the “De Kuip” (Novasports Prime, Alpha, sport-fm.gr), with Croatian to contend with Spain.
On the one hand, Hrvatska made a surprise against Netherlands. His team Domagoi Vida eliminated the hosts by winning 4-2 in extra time (with the AEK stopper struggling throughout) and tonight he wants to drink… finally water, i.e. lift the first trophy in its history. Besides, in the “source” it has reached the 2018 World Cup, having taken 3rd place in the 1998 and 2022 competitions. On the other hand, “Furia Roja” defeated 2-1 the Italy and qualified for the 2nd time in the grand final of the Nations League, as in the previous one he had been defeated 2-1 by an upset by France.
Possible compositions:
Croatia (Zlatko Dalic): Livakovic – Juranovic, Sutalo, Vida, Perisic – Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic – Pasalic, Kramaric, Ivanusec.
Spain (Luis De la Fuente): Kepa – Poro, Le Normand, Laporte, Alba – Merino, Rodri, Gavi – Asensio, Morata, Pino.
Earlier, on 16:00 (Novasports Prime, sport-fm.gr), n Netherlands welcomes her Italywith the winner taking 3rd place.
