Germany vs Netherlands lineups, team news
Nagelsmann will rotate following the win in Lyon with veteran midfield pair Ilkay Gundogan and Toni Kroos unlikely to start successive matches. Kai Havertz could drop back from the forward line, with Niclas Fullkrug starting alongside Thomas Muller.
Germany predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Leno (GK) — Kimmich, Tah, Rudiger, Raum — Andrich, Havertz, Wirtz — Muller, Fullkrug, Musiala.
Koeman will also look to shuffle his pack for the trip to Frankfurt with Wout Weghorst, Daley Blind and Donyell Malen possible options to come into the starting XI.
Netherlands predicted XI (4-3-3 right to left): Flekken (GK) — Frimpong, van Dijk, Ake, Blind — Wieffer, Reijnders, Veerman — Malen, Weghorst, Malen.
Germany vs Netherlands prediction
Germany remain an unknown quantity ahead of hosting Euro 2024 but Nagelsmann will be buoyed by that win against tournament favourites France. Another clash against a rival will present a chance to maintain their progress and the Dutch have been inconsistent against top sides since Koeman’s return.
Prediction: Germany 2-1 Netherlands
