The Germans seem to be mirroring the Dutch of 10 years ago. The ultimate success in the world cup,followed by gradual decline and then shock defeats. They need an overhaul and the longer they stick with the old guard the longer they will prolong the gradual decline. They must have dreaded seeing the Dutch in their group after a chastening 3-0 defeat in the nation's group in the Netherlands and a 2-2 draw in Germany. I think the Dutch will contribute this good form with a win today.
This German side looks in transition after a disappointing World Cup. They played during the week and drew at home against Serbia, not as dominant as in previous years. While the Netherlands failed to qualify for the World Cup, they do look all the stronger at this point in time. Netherlands are unbeaten in four games. They beat the German’s by three goals to nil in October as part of the UEFA Nations League. With the German’s drawing their last two games, this looks like a more narrow home win.
