Netherlands vs Germany Prediction & Super Sub Player Markets

Thu 24 Sep 2026 ยท 19:45 UK ยท 20:45 CEST ยท Johan Cruijff ArenA, Amsterdam

Two new eras start in Amsterdam: Xavi's first match in charge of the Netherlands against Jรผrgen Klopp's first as Germany coach. Both are missing key players โ€” Frenkie de Jong, Xavi Simons and Matthijs de Ligt for the hosts; Florian Wirtz, Leon Goretzka and Nick Woltemade for Germany โ€” which makes tonight's player markets less predictable than usual. That is exactly where substitution protection earns its keep.

Last reviewed 24 Sept 2026 ยท Line-ups are projected until the teams are announced about an hour before kick-off.

This is our pre-match preview. Upcoming matches are on the Nations League hub.

Player markets

Netherlands vs Germany: players for shots, SOT and fouls bets

Player picks are based on role in the projected line-up โ€” confirm the XI before betting.

Cody Gakpo

Netherlands ยท Left winger / main shooter

  • Shots on target 1+: Takes the most shots for the Netherlands from the left channel; with Simons out, even more of the attack runs through him.
  • Shots 2+: Volume shooter who shoots from outside the box when the block is set.

Tijjani Reijnders

Netherlands ยท Box-to-box midfielder

  • Shots 1+: Late runs into the box and edge-of-area shots; a lower line suits his role.

Kai Havertz

Germany ยท Centre-forward

  • Shots on target 1+: Germany's reference point up front with Woltemade and Undav out.
  • Anytime scorer: Most central finisher in Germany's projected XI.

Jamal Musiala

Germany ยท Attacking midfielder

  • Fouls won 2+: Germany's main ball-carrier without Wirtz โ€” dribblers who carry through midfield are fouled most.
  • Shots 2+: Will take on more of the shooting load in Wirtz's absence.

Joshua Kimmich

Germany ยท Defensive midfielder

  • Fouls committed 1+: Screens transitions in a two-man pivot against a quick Dutch front three.

Ryan Gravenberch

Netherlands ยท Central midfielder

  • Fouls committed 1+: Duel-heavy role against Musiala's carries.

Jonathan Tah

Germany ยท Centre-back

  • Card: Physical defender likely to face Gakpo and Brobbey directly; card markets are protected at several UK bookmakers.

Our call

Prediction: Netherlands 2-2 Germany

Four of the last five meetings produced goals at both ends (1-0 is the only exception), including the 2-2 in Amsterdam in September 2024. Two debut head coaches, depleted midfields and a Netherlands side with one home defeat since October 2023 point to an open, even game.

Germany have not lost to the Netherlands in four meetings, but Klopp has had days, not weeks, with this squad. We back both teams to score rather than picking a side.

1X2

lean draw. Home record favours the Netherlands, H2H favours Germany โ€” the prices are close for a reason.

Goals

lean over 2.5. The last five meetings averaged 3.2 goals.

BTTS

Yes โ€” our best bet. Four of the last five H2H meetings.

Team news

Team news and projected line-ups

Reported absences and projected XIs from pre-match reports โ€” official line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Netherlands ยท coach Xavi

  • Reported out: Frenkie de Jong, Xavi Simons, Matthijs de Ligt, Donyell Malen, Justin Kluivert, Mats Wieffer, Martin de Roon, Jerdy Schouten, Memphis Depay, Wout Weghorst.
  • Available: Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, Tijjani Reijnders, Ryan Gravenberch, Denzel Dumfries, Micky van de Ven.

Projected XI

Verbruggen; Dumfries, Van Hecke, Van Dijk, Van de Ven; Koopmeiners, Gravenberch, Reijnders; Summerville, Brobbey, Gakpo

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Germany ยท coach Jรผrgen Klopp

  • Reported out: Florian Wirtz, Leon Goretzka, Nick Woltemade, Karim Adeyemi, Aleksandar Pavloviฤ‡, Deniz Undav, Said El Mala.
  • Available: Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, Joshua Kimmich, Jonathan Tah, Nico Schlotterbeck.

Projected XI

Ter Stegen; Treu, Tah, Schlotterbeck, Brown; Kimmich, Nmecha; Karl, Musiala, Schade; Havertz

  • Without Wirtz, Musiala becomes Germany's only elite creator between the lines. Expect him to carry the ball into the Dutch midfield โ€” the profile that wins free kicks and draws bookings for the defenders tracking him.
  • The Netherlands' shot volume runs through Gakpo cutting in from the left and Reijnders arriving late. With Simons out, Brobbey offers a physical target rather than a dribbler.
  • Germany's projected double pivot (Kimmich and Nmecha) will spend long spells stopping Dutch transitions: the clearest source of fouls committed on the German side.
