A high-scoring and entertaining clash is on the cards as Germany make the short journey across the border for their second Nations League clash against the Netherlands.
Both teams are coming off emphatic five-goal victories, with the Netherlands bagging a 5-2 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina and Germany demolishing Hungary 5-0. With both sides showcasing strong tendencies to score and concede in equal measure, staking on both teams to score (BTTS) at 1.53 odds on Betano could be very good value. The trend of high goal averages in their recent head-to-heads supports this too; the last five matches between the Netherlands and Germany have averaged four goals per game.
Further supporting the possibility of a high-scoring affair in this encounter is the Netherlands’ record when playing in front of their home fans, with the Oranje registering a whopping 17 goals across their last four home matches. However, defensive issues have been a recurring issue for Ronald Koeman’s side. With just one clean sheet in their last five matches, the chances of the Oranje keeping this rampant Die Mannschaft side at bay are pretty slim, making the Over 2.5 Goals at 1.70 odds on Betano also worth considering.
While Germany’s away record in the Nations League is distinctly unimpressive, with only one win in their last eight away games, they have shown a knack for scoring against the Netherlands.
Die Mannschaft have registered at least a goal in each of their last five meetings with the Netherlands, and that trend should continue on Tuesday, considering the hosts’ defensive struggles.
Key Players to Watch: Xavi Simons, Jamal Musiala, and Kai Havertz
Two of the most exciting young talents on the pitch will be Xavi Simons for the Netherlands and Jamal Musiala for Germany. Simons has been a revelation for the Dutch and was on target in their dismantling of Bosnia & Herzegovina. He is currently priced at 4.00 odds on Betano to score anytime in the match.
Musiala has also been in electric form for Germany, bringing flair, assists and goal-scoring ability to his side’s midfield. The Bayern Munich prodigy was fantastic against Hungary with a goal and three assists and could be excellent value at 3.80 odds on Betano to score anytime in this encounter.
Kai Havertz might have played a deeper role in the 5-0 demolition of Hungary, but the Arsenal man remains a key cog in Die Mannschaft’s attack, especially after converting a penalty in that win. Despite his positional shift, Havertz’s vision and knack for getting into dangerous positions, coupled with being on penalty duties, make him a good prospect at 3.25 odds on Betano to score anytime against the Netherlands.
