Germany and The Netherlands were always the favourites to win group A3 of the Nations League. Looking at how the group has turned out there are no surprises here. The hosts will enter the game with an advantage, however. One that not only translates to their point tally but also recent results.
Germany Team News
With 7 points from 3 games, it is Germany that is leading the pack in group A3. They know that a win here would guarantee them passage to the quarter-final stage of the tournament. With home advantage and on the back of a successful trip to Bosnia & Herzegovina, Germany is set to deliver here. Their home Nations League fixtures have historically seen a fair share of goals, as 6 of their 9 such games have featured both the hosts and the guests on the scoresheet. However, Germany has lost just one of those 9 games, making them a proven quality in the tournament. Moreover, all the team’s 3 games from this edition’s Nations League have featured over 2.5 goals so it would not be outlandish to expect them against the Dutch.
Netherlands Team News
The Netherlands have failed to find the road to success in their last 2 Nations League fixtures, but they did show resilience. Against both Hungary and at home versus Germany, The Oranje managed to come from behind and avoid defeat. But despite the grit displayed by Ronald Koeman’s side, they are still considered outsiders against Germany. Their away form as of late might show some issues when The Netherlands travel, as their last defeat on the road came against none other, but Germany. As far as Nations League fixtures go The Dutch are undefeated in 7 away matches, but their task will be much harder with the absence of Virgil van Dijk.
Head-to-Head-Games
Goals are something to be expected when Germany and The Netherlands play, as all of their last 6 meetings produced goals from both. Just one of those 6 games featured less than 2.5 goals. Draws are quite common as well as there have been 3 in the last 6 fixtures between these two. Germany has won 2, while The Netherlands have just 1 victory.
Germany – Netherlands Betting Prediction
This will be a pivotal game for the outcome of the group. A win here for Germany would mean that they proceed to the next round, but The Netherlands have shown resilience and will not be an easy opponent. Games between these two sides have also been goal-rich with stalemates often being the result. If we look at Nations League games alone, Germany is a formidable host, who gets the job done at home, even if they concede regularly, while The Dutch are on a good unbeaten away streak. With all of this in mind, my pick here would be for Germany to win & both teams to score. The home advantage will be crucial in my view as will be the added incentive for progression to the next phase. Given that when Germany and The Netherlands meet there are often goals from both sides I believe that it will be a fair thing to expect here as well.
