Germany vs Netherlands: Key Prediction & Betting Insights for Nations League

Germany vs Netherlands Prediction | Key Betting Insights | GSB

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.

Form and Analysis

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.

Key Players to Watch

  • Germany: Deniz Undav is in exceptional form, scoring three goals in five appearances for the national team. His ability to score crucial goals, as seen in the reverse fixture, makes him a key player to watch.
  • Netherlands: Denzel Dumfries scored in the last match between the two teams and made it a habit to score his team’s winning goal, often the last goal of the match. He will be important with his attacking contribution in the right flank for Netherlands.

Predicted Lineups

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
