Germany and the Netherlands are set to renew their long-standing rivalry in Munich for a crucial UEFA Nations League match on Monday. After a 1-1 draw in Amsterdam last month, both teams come into this game unbeaten, eager to take control of Group A3.
Germany, led by Julian Nagelsmann, sit top of the group after a narrow 2-1 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina, thanks to a first-half brace from Deniz Undav.
The Dutch side, managed by Ronald Koeman, will be without star defender Virgil van Dijk, who was sent off in their recent draw with Hungary. Despite this, the Netherlands have shown resilience, fighting back in their last two matches to secure valuable points.
A win for either team would bring them closer to the quarter-finals, but with both sides evenly matched, another tense contest is expected in Munich.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Kai Havertz, Jamal Musiala, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are all sidelined with injuries which will see them miss out Germany's clash with the Netherlands.

Germany vs. Netherlands Prediction
Historically it has been pretty even between Germany and the Netherlands, with both teams having four wins respectively and sharing six draws in their last 14 games.
While both sides are missing key personnel, we could see the Germans get one over the Dutch this time, albeit by the thinnest of margins.
