The Dutch will be hoping to come good against the mighty Azzuri in a crunch clash in Berne which will go a long way in deciding the fate of the Group of Death in the Uefa Euro 2008 championships.

Netherlands have been in fine fettle throughout their friendly matches before the Euro 2008 championships and come into this clash wth a fighting chance of upstaging France and Italy to come out on top of a tough group. Much of their hopes will be pinned on a ruthless front line that consists the likes of Arjen Robben and Van Nistelrooy of Real Madrid, Huntelaar of Ajax and Robin Van Persie of Arsenal. The Dutch have always struggled in major competitions with their debacle in the Euro 2004 a shining example. Besides, their defence does look much weakened with the absence of Edgar Davids and Philip Cocu marshalling the defence in mid field and the Dutch will know that they cannot afford to play rear guard football against the mighty Azzuris in this much awaited clash in Berne, Austria.

The Italian national football team was dealt a major shock last weekend when Fabio Cannavaro limped out of the Euro 2008 championships due to a broken ankle. Despite having a miserable season at Madrid, Cannavaro has been totally immense in recent matches for the national team and the Italians will feel his absence. With Materazzi out of form and the likes of Nesta and Maldini retired from the international game, the Italians will be short of defensive options and will know that they cannot afford to play the Catennacio approach this time around. However, they do possess a lethal strike partnership in Luca Toni and Alessandaro Del Piero up front and a midfield trip of De Natale, Cassano and Pirlo. All eyes will be Antonio Cassano who lit up the Euro 2004 championships with his sublime skills and the time is ripe for the most talented Italian soccer player after Roberto Baggio to set the word alight this summer in Austria and Switzerland.
