"Germany versus Netherlands is always something special," Low told reporters. "There have been extremely tough and bitter fights between the two teams but that has changed a bit."
Since the emergence of the Dutch as a global football powerhouse in the 1970s, the two sides have met on numerous occasions including Germany's 2-1 final victory at the 1974 World Cup.
"I think the rivalry has lost some of its weight. Back then there were very tough games. Back then there were incidents in a lot of games but today these do not happen so much. There are now lots of Dutch players in the Bundesliga, who have made Germany their second home," said Low.
"It is a test game for both teams. This game has no influence on next year's [Euro 2012] tournament. So both teams will be sensible but also with the will to win. But not with an over-the-top aggression."
"They have excellent footballing education, their game is automated, they rarely come under pressure. For 30 years the Dutch cannot be beaten in terms of consistency," said the 51-year-old coach who has adopted a more attacking style for the three-times World Cup winners, long renowned for their power and endurance game.
"The Dutch always generate new players. They can always bring out more players. They always had the advantage that their young players, 18 years old, played for their clubs," said Low, who steered Germany to a third-place finish at the 2010 World Cup with their youngest tournament team in 76 years.
"We have learned from them over the years. I don't know if the Dutch have become more German. It is clear that our education in the past 10 years has focused more on technique and skills. Before it was more power, running and fitness. Clearly it was necessary to think outside the box."
