The September international training camp is coming to an end. Club football will resume next weekend. Nine matches in the second round of the Nations League are scheduled for 10 September. We will pay special attention to the match between the Netherlands and Germany, which will take place in Amsterdam at the Johan Cruyff Arena. Kick-off will sound at 21:45 Moscow time.
What do bookmakers expect from the Nations League match between the Netherlands and Germany on 10 September 2024?
The bookmakers cannot identify a clear favourite in their predictions. The Dutch team is offered to bet on a win at odds of 2.75, while the German team is offered to win at odds of 2.60. The chances for each team are within 37% of the probability. A draw is estimated at odds of 3.50.
At the same time, analysts are almost certain that the meeting of representatives of the A League will be productive. A total of over 2.5 goals has a rate of 1.69, and a total of under 2.5 goals has a rate of 2.25. If both sides score, the probability will be 1.58, which can be represented as a probability of 63%. The most likely outcome is 1:1.
Analysis and prediction for the 2nd round of the Nations League match Netherlands – Germany (10.09.2024)
The rivals have already met this year. Namely, in a friendly match in March in preparation for the European Championship. Then the German national team won at home 2:1, although the Dutch team even scored first. As you can see, the teams prepared for the tournament with good reason.
The Germans performed well at the Euros on home soil and could easily have reached the final if they had not already faced the incredible Spanish team in the quarter-finals. The Dutch also performed well. Of course, their level of opposition was noticeably lower, but they made it to the semi-finals.
What unites the rivals is that in the first round of the new Nations League they scored five goals each. And if the Netherlands’ 5:2 victory over the problematic Bosnia and Herzegovina team seems absolutely logical, then Germany should be praised for its 5:0 victory over the strong Hungarian team.
Julian Nagelsmann has not changed his squad much since March. The main difference is the absence of Toni Kroos and Manuel Neuer. However, as practice shows, everything is fine in the Bundesteam. Joshua Zirkzee is showing his talent with the Orange. There is a strong feeling that he will do it more than once.
As a bet for the next match, goals could be scored in both directions with a total of over 2.5 goals. Firstly, as good as the Germans were defensively against Hungary, the Dutch are now in a good mood. In the match against the Bosnians, they could have scored more than five goals. They should score at least one goal.
At the same time, Ronald Koeman’s Dutch national team was a very entertaining team at the European Championships. Goals were scored in five of the six games in which they participated, and in four of the six both teams scored. Someone, and the German national team, which scored five goals through the experienced Peter Gulacsi’s goal, will be able to support attacking football.
We expect outstanding play from Jamal Musiala in particular. He is only 21 years old, but he was good at the European Championships and in the last match against the Hungarians he scored four points using the goal+pass system. It is understandable that many are surprised by his absence from the list of candidates for the Ballon d’Or.
Tender: the total exceeds 2.5 goals and both will score in 1.93.
