European domestic football is on the horizon with the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A set to kick-off soon, but there's the small matter of second matchday in the UEFA Nations League to deal with first.
The tournament continues today as last year's runners-up the Netherlands play host to Italy. We've got all of the details on how to live stream Netherlands vs Italy online no matter where you are in the world.
The sides in tonight's clash are considered to be two of Europe's titans, though both have fallen on hard times when it comes to international competitions in recent years.
Italy failed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup — their first absence from the competition since 1958. The Netherlands failed to gain entry to the last two major competitions with Euro 2016 and World Cup 2018 disappointment. Both sides, however, qualified for the postponed Euro 2020 championships with aplomb. Whoever wins tonight's game is likely to take the reins in League A Group 1 of this year's Nations League, too.
Despite a lack of joy in major competitions, the Netherlands did make it to the final of the last Nations League tournament, ultimately losing out to Portugal. The Oranje kicked off their 2020/21 Nations League campaign with a 1-0 victory over Poland. That win was the first under interim manager Dwight Lodeweges after Ronald Koeman departed to take charge of La Liga's FC Barcelona.
Italy did not have quite as positive a start with a 1-1 draw against Bosnia-Herzagovina. Gli Azzurri had to come from behind to secure a point in that game after Edin Dzeko opened the scoring. Roberto Mancini will be hoping his side can bounce back from that disappointment, especially with the Netherlands missing talent in the form of Stefan de Vrij, Matthijs de Ligt, and Daley Blind.
