Germany
Julian Nagelsmann's team has major objectives, and a potential victory in the Nations League would add credibility to the head coach and boost their confidence. The match against the Dutch will likely determine the fate of first place in the group, and Germany has almost secured a spot in the playoffs.
A draw with the Netherlands and two wins allow the Germans to top their group standings. It seems that as long as they avoid losing in the next match, first place will be theirs.
Netherlands
The Netherlands are in a similar situation, but in my subjective opinion, they fall slightly short of the Germans in terms of squad quality. However, with notable injury problems on the opponent's side, the Dutch might take full advantage of the situation.
On the other hand, the team did not impress in their last match, losing points in Hungary. They managed to avoid defeat only after Van Dijk was sent off, playing in a reduced lineup.
Match Facts
- Germany has not lost at home for almost a year.
- The Dutch's most recent away defeat occurred against Germany.
- Germany averages 3 goals per game at home, while the Netherlands averages 2 goals per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Germany: Baumann, Kimmich, Tah, Rüdiger, Gosens, Andrich, Groß, Wirtz, Gnabry, Kleindienst, Undav.
- Netherlands: Verbruggen, Van de Ven, De Vrij, De Ligt, Dumfries, Gravenberch, Reijnders, Frimpong, Gakpo, Simons, Zirkzee.
H2H
The teams have a long history of matches dating back to the 1970s. Germany has one more win overall, and in the last six encounters, both teams have scored.
Prediction
Neutral fans are expecting an exciting and high-scoring game between these teams. To some extent, these expectations are justified, so I suggest betting on both teams to score.
