Netherlands Women welcome Italy Women to Fortuna Sittard Stadion for a UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualification game on Friday. The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Finland in the qualifiers last month.
They took the lead through Lineth Beerensteyn's 17th-minute strike but Jutta Rantala drew the game level in the 77th minute.
Italy, meanwhile, also shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Norway. Manuela Giugliano broke the deadlock for the hosts in the sixth minute while Frida Leonhardsen-Maanum equalized with nine minutes left on the clock.
The draw left Le Azzurre in third spot in Group 1 of the qualifiers, having garnered five points from four games. The Netherlands lead the way at the summit on seven points.

Netherlands Women vs Italy Women Prediction
The Netherlands are on the cusp of qualifying for the UEFA Women's Euro for the fifth time. A win here would see them book their spot in Switzerland.
Italy, for their part, have qualified for the last seven tournaments but their streak of qualification could be ended here. They currently sit in third spot and a negative result could leave them in danger of failing to qualify for the Women's Euro.
Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
