- Following a disappointing World Cup campaign in the summer, Xavi is now the man tasked with leading the Netherlands, and his first assignment is a tough one against a Germany side the Dutch have beaten just once in their last seven meetings. X
- avi will hope his new team can maintain their impressive form in regulation time — they’ve lost just one of their last 20 matches (W11, D8) inside 90 minutes, and only one of their last sixteen home games in all competitions.
- This fixture has produced entertainment in recent years, with two of the last three Nations League clashes ending 2–2, and the Dutch can be backed at 13/10 with William Hill to start Xavi’s reign with a win.
- Germany’s shock exit to Paraguay at the 2026 World Cup prompted a change in the dugout, with the federation turning to the experience and authority of Jürgen Klopp to revive the national side.
- Klopp has wasted no time in signalling a fresh start, calling up 43 players across two squads for their opening four fixtures in this competition — a clear chance for new faces to impress.
- Germany have lost only one of their last nine away matches against European opposition (W6, D2), and historically this fixture has been tight, with eighteen wins, eighteen draws and twelve defeats for the Germans. William Hill price Klopp’s side at 13/8 to take all three points and begin a new era on the front foot.
