- Competition: Women’s Nations League

- Kick-off: 18:30 UK / 19:30 CEST
- Venue: Koning Willem II Stadion
Italy Women will be looking to secure a win that will see them finish second in Group D on Tuesday when they play Wales Women away on Tuesday evening.
The hosts have performed the worst in the group by far. Rhian Wilkinson side are the only team in Group D yet to win a game and have not kept a clean sheet in any of their five matches so far. The Dragons' wait for their first win of the campaign continued last Friday at the Nature Energy Park in Denmark, where they conceded a goal in the second half without responding.
Meanwhile, Italy Women have won two of their last five games. They have suffered two defeats and drawn one, but head coach Andrea Soncin will be delighted that his side has been solid defensively lately, keeping a clean sheet in each of their last two matches.
Wales W vs Italy W Betting Tips: Under 3.5 goals
The Italian women's team's hopes of finishing in the top two are in their own hands, as they just need to beat Wales. Any other result in the top-of-the-table clash between Sweden and Denmark will also favour them.
Fortunately for the Blues, they have a good record against Wales as they boast a win and a clean sheet in each of the last three encounters between the two nations. None of those matches saw more than three goals, and I expect a similar outcome on Tuesday.
- Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals
- Wales W vs Italy W prediction: 0-2

Wales W team news
Wales Women head coach Rhian Wilkinson will be without Mayzee Davies on Wednesday due to injury.
Davis lasted only six minutes in the defeat to Denmark last time out before being substituted due to injury, and the Manchester City defender will not be available this week.
Alice Griffiths — who replaced Davis in that game — is also doubtful, having been replaced by Ffion Morgan in the second half.

Italy W team news
The Italy Women's national football team did not suffer any injuries last time out, so head coach Peter Gerhardsson may decide to stick with the side that kept back to back clean sheets for the first time in nine matches.
This means that Cecilia Salvai and Elena Linari will reunite in central defence, protecting AC Milan goalkeeper Laura Giuliani. Meanwhile, Roma midfielder Manuela Giugliano will be the player to watch in midfield.
