Netherlands vs Germany: Match preview
The Netherlands and Germany begin their 2026/27 UEFA Nations League campaigns on Thursday night when they meet at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam.
It is an intriguing Group A2 opener, with both nations entering a new era under new head coaches. Xavi will take charge of the Netherlands for the first time, while Klopp will make his competitive debut as Germany boss following his appointment after the 2026 World Cup.
Xavi has already made a notable selection decision by leaving out Memphis Depay, the Netherlands' record goalscorer, from his first squad. Captain Virgil van Dijk remains central to his plans, while the squad also boasts plenty of attacking quality in Cody Gakpo, Brian Brobbey and Noa Lang. Brobbey comes into the game in particularly strong form after scoring a hat-trick for Sunderland in their recent Premier League meeting with Manchester City.
Germany's focus, meanwhile, will be on Klopp's first competitive match in charge. He has surprisingly named a 44-man squad, which has been split into two groups for the two gameweeks. The squad includes 11 players who have never previously featured for Die Mannschaft.
For this fixture, Kai Havertz, Jamal Musiala, Joshua Kimmich and Kevin Schade are all part of the squad while Marc-André ter Stegen make his first reappearance in a Germany squad since the 2025 Nations League finals.
The fixture is a repeat of the corresponding Nations League meeting from 2024. The sides drew 2-2 in Amsterdam before Germany won 1-0 in Munich later that month. Germany have won 18 of the 48 previous meetings, while the Netherlands have won 12.
