Germany vs Netherlands

Germany host the Netherlands on Monday in League A Group 2, and the table makes it a match Germany need. After four rounds the Dutch top the group on 8 points, level with Greece and ahead on goals scored. Germany are third on 5. The first meeting in September finished 1-1, with Cody Gakpo equalising in stoppage time. Germany then lost 1-0 at home to Greece, the first time Greece had ever beaten them and Jürgen Klopp's first defeat as coach. A goalless draw in Thessaloniki followed. The Netherlands have had a steadier start. Xavi won for the first time as their coach against Serbia, a 2-1 result in which Mexx Meerdink, 23, scored twice on his first senior start. Gakpo's late goal in the first meeting is the other thing the Dutch have to lean on. Our prediction: 1-1
