The Three Lions face a resurgent Netherlands in their semi on Thursday, June 6 – live on talkSPORT – and will be hoping they can breakdown a tough defence which includes Virgil van Dijk and Matthijs de Ligt at its heart.


Meanwhile, tonight, you can listen to live commentary of hosts Portugal’s clash with Switzerland as they look to lift the trophy in their own country.


England will have high hopes but how much has having several stars playing in the Europa League and Champions League finals affected their preparations?


Can Switzerland shock everyone, or will the Dutch prove they are about to enter a bright new era of Oranje?

We decided to reboot our famous Super Computer for the tournament and see who it predicts will emerge victorious on Sunday night.


Below are the calculated scores in the UEFA Nations League finals, which should, of course, be taken with a pinch of salt…











UEFA Nations League semi-final 1


Portugal 2-1 Switzerland


According to our calculations it’s set to be more disappointment for Granit Xhaka with his Swiss side being beaten by the hosts in Porto.

UEFA Nations League semi-final 2


Netherlands 1-1 England (England win on penalties)


The Dutch may be enjoying a renaissance with Van Dijk but they won’t quite be able to pip Southgate’s Three Lions in Guimaraes, according to the Super Computer – spot-kicks will see them miss out on the final.
