Netherlands take on the visitors Germany n the round 2 match of UEFA Nations League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 10th atJohan Cruijff Arena (Amsterdam).
Netherlands experienced a downturn, missing several major tournaments in a row. Even at Euro 2020, things didn’t go too well, which is why they quickly parted ways with head coach De Boer afterward. However, the return of Van Gaal reminded everyone of the Netherlands' historical footballing status. Later, with Koeman, who took the post for the second time, the team produced a good result at the Euros. In Germany, they managed to reach the semifinals, where Watkins scored the decisive goal in the very last moments. On the other hand, Ronald lost both of the World Cup qualification matches to France last year and failed in the Nations League final "at home." In Germany, they not only played out a dull 0-0 draw with Deschamps' side but also lost to Austria. The new cycle kicked off in Eindhoven, where they hosted Bosnia. In what was the most exciting match on Saturday, they thrashed their opponents 5-2.

Germany's assessment of their game and results has changed dramatically over the past year. Last fall, "Die Mannschaft" appointed Nagelsmann as the new head coach. His predecessor, Flick, was fired (a first in the team’s history). And for good reason, as Flick was forgiven for the World Cup failure (Germany’s second in a row, after a shameful showing under Löw), but in 2023, the Germans consistently underperformed in friendlies. Julian also started poorly, with some defeats, but after taking his lumps in the early matches, he revamped both the squad and the playing style by spring. At the "home" Euros, they set the tone by thrashing Scotland in the opening match. The only downside was the tournament draw: they had to face Spain in the quarterfinals, and everyone said that would decide the eventual champion. In the end, Germany was the only team that didn’t lose to "La Furia Roja" in regular time but succumbed in extra time, conceding one more goal. The new cycle, without veterans Neuer, Kroos, Müller, and Gündoğan, began against Hungary, whom they had already beaten at the Euros. They had no issues this time either, humiliating their opponents 5-0.
These two sides have played frequently and with varied outcomes over the last half-century, starting with the 1974 World Cup final. In March, in a friendly match, "Die Mannschaft" won 2-1 at home. The chances for victory are seen as even. However, not only a hard-fought match but also a spectacular one is expected. We agree and suggest betting on "total over 2.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: Over 2,5 scored goals.
