Home » Germany vs Netherlands: Key Prediction & Betting Insights for Nations League
The battle for supremacy in UEFA Nations League Group A3 sees Germany vs Netherlands. Germany leads the group with a two-point advantage, knowing that a win here will guarantee their place in the newly introduced quarterfinal stage. But history between the teams suggests this being a tight encounter, with Germany winning just two of the last eight meetings against their opponents – drawing four and losing two. Both teams are expected to score as their last six meetings have produced a total of 24 goals.
Germany: DWLWDW
Germany enters this game after a 2-1 win over Bosnia in their last Nations League outing. Deniz Undav continues to impress for the Germans, scoring twice in that match. They demonstrated the capability of controlling games, as Germany dominated with 73% possession, creating a number of chances. Thus, Germany scored in each of their last six matches, totaling 13 goals, with five conceded.
Netherlands: WWLWDD
The Netherlands fought hard to secure a 1-1 draw against Hungary, coming from behind. They drew level late into the match through Denzel Dumfries to show the resilience of the team. While they will still miss their main man in the defense of Virgil van Dijk, who is ruled out of this particular match, the Dutch are a decent side. The Dutch have avoided defeat in seven successive away Nations League matches, drawing three, and will be seeking to make it eight here in Germany.
Germany Starting XI: Nubel; Kimmich, Rudiger, Tah, Mittelstadt; Andrich, Pavlovic, Gross; Wirtz, Undav, Gnabry
Netherlands Starting XI: Verbruggen; Dumfries, De Vrij, De Ligt, Van de Ven; Gravenberch, Reijnders, Q Timber; Simons, Zirkzee, Gakpo
Germany comes into this duel as the clear favorite according to the odds available on the GSB platform, with an odd of 1.70 to win. The Netherlands are listed at 4.10, but in all likelihood, they will have to play extremely up the back for the draw. Given the recent history between the two teams, betting on both teams scoring could be a smart option.
This match is going to be an end-to-end encounter where both sides will score goals, but the home advantage and attacking superiority of Germany might give them the edge. Prediction: 2-1 home win for Germany to go through to the quarter finals of the Nations League.
