Match Preview: Germany vs Netherlands
Both teams had strong performances at the summer Euros despite facing numerous issues during their preparation. "Die Mannschaft" put on a solid display but were unlucky in the quarterfinals, facing Spain in what felt like a "premature final." Spain eventually eliminated Germany, with a late extra-time goal from Mikel Merino. The Netherlands advanced to the semifinals but were knocked out by England, with Ollie Watkins scoring a stoppage-time winner.
In the Nations League, both Germany and the Netherlands started strong, scoring five goals each in their respective matches against Hungary and Bosnia. Their most recent encounter in Amsterdam ended in a thrilling draw.
Germany’s coach, Julian Nagelsmann, is dealing with increasing injury concerns. In addition to the retirements of Toni Kroos, Ilkay Gündogan, and Thomas Müller after the Euros, Marc-André ter Stegen has suffered a serious injury, leaving only inexperienced goalkeepers available. Despite this, neither Bernd Leno nor Kevin Trapp were called up. Other absentees include Bastian Oczipka, Niclas Füllkrug, Leroy Sané, and Amine Adli, while Jamal Musiala was withdrawn from the squad. Nevertheless, Germany managed to beat Bosnia thanks to a brace from Deniz Undav.
The Dutch, led by Ronald Koeman, are without Daley Blind (who retired from international duty), Frenkie de Jong, and Marten de Roon, who are still recovering from injuries. Koeman also chose not to call up Nathan Aké, Jurriën Timber, Jan Paul van Hecke, Jordan Teze, Jerdy Schouten, Georginio Wijnaldum, Steven Bergwijn, or Noa Lang. Memphis Depay also remains out of the squad. The Netherlands fought back to secure a draw against Hungary despite being reduced to 10 men after Virgil van Dijk was sent off for a second yellow card.
