Netherlands will take on Croatia in the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League with both teams looking to put themselves in a position to win an international trophy. Both these countries had a decent World Cup in Qatar but the Dutch have had a change of management with Ronald Koeman back in charge. He had a poor start with a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of France but did well to bounce back against Gibraltar. Opponents Croatia continue to impress on the world stage and if their 2018 World Cup runners-up medal shocked the world, they followed it up with a third-place finish in the 2022 edition which makes them one of the most stable sides in terms of results and continuous development. Real Madrid Announce Signing of Jude Bellingham From Borussia Dortmund on Six-Year Deal.

Coady Gakpo leads the attack for the Dutch with Steven Bergwijn and Xavi Simons on the wings. Frenkie de Jong is the main man in midfield and he will be tasked with progressing the ball forward. Georginio Wijnaldum is known for his work rate but he needs to be on top of his defensive game as he lines up as the central midfielder. Virgin Van Dijk in the backline brings a sense of calmness to this team.

Marko Livaja has pulled out of the Croatian squad after an incident involving him and some fans during a training session. He will be replaced in the starting eleven by Andrej Kramaric. The midfield trio of Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic continue to feature for Croatia which is a boon for them. Romelu Lukaku Transfer News: Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal Reportedly Offer Two-Year Deal to Belgian Striker.
