NETHERLANDS v GERMANY– Click here to bet
These sides have been placed in Group A3 alongside Bosnia & Herzegovina and Hungary.
Netherlands will host Germany at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam on Tuesday evening, aiming to build on their strong start. ‘Die Oranje’ began their campaign with a dominant 5-2 victory over Bosnia & Herzegovina, placing them 2nd in the group standings, just behind Germany, who lead on goal difference. Tomorrow’s clash will provide the Dutch with a valuable opportunity to measure their progress against one of the tournament’s top contenders.
Currently leading the group standings after their first game, Germany travels to Amsterdam this Tuesday, aiming to secure back-to-back victories before players return to their respective clubs for domestic duties. ‘Die Mannschaft’ were in ruthless form in their opener, comfortably defeating Hungary 5-0 this past weekend. Julian Nagelsmann will be well aware that the Netherlands represent a significant threat and could be the only team capable of challenging their top position. There is no doubt they will approach the match with a healthy respect for the Dutch and the potential threats they bring.
Head-to-Head
These sides have met 46 times overall, with Germany slightly edging the record with 17 wins, 17 draws, and 12 defeats. Their most recent encounter was a 2-1 victory for Germany earlier this year in an international friendly held in Frankfurt.
Betting
Netherlands 13/8
Draw 5/2
Germany 33/20
Prediction
Given the nature and quality of both teams, goals are likely to feature strongly this Tuesday. At 9/10 currently on offer, there appears to be value in backing both teams to score and for the game to feature at least 3 goals.
Suggested Bet: Totals And Both Teams to Score, Over 2.5 And Yes at 9/10
ENGLAND v FINLAND– Click here to bet
These sides have been placed in Group B2 alongside Greece and the Republic of Ireland.
Tuesday evening’s clash takes place at Wembley Stadium, where England will host Finland in what is expected to be a routine win for the ‘Three Lions’. Under temporary head coach Lee Carsley, England has started positively, currently sitting 2nd in the standings after a comfortable 2-0 victory away to the Republic of Ireland in their tournament opener. This will be Carsley’s first home game and should be targeting maximum points, particularly given Finland’s timid performance away to Greece.
Languishing at the bottom of the group, Finland has had a challenging start in the UEFA Nations League. They suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat away to Greece in their opening game, leaving them at the bottom of the table with an inferior goal difference of minus 3. This Tuesday, they face a daunting task against an English side that has undergone staff changes and will be eager to make amends after their recent heartbreaking defeat to Spain in the European Championship final earlier this year.
Head-to-Head
These sides have met 11 times in total, with England dominating the record with 9 wins and 2 draws. The last encounter between them dates back to 2001, when England secured a 2-1 victory in a World Cup qualifier at Anfield.
Betting
England 2/13
Draw 15/2
Finland 17/1
Prediction
Given how each team performed in their opening games, England are unlikely to struggle against a rather poor Finnish unit that has failed to make any impact in this tournament so far. However, with England’s win priced at 2/13, it might be wiser to consider an alternative with better value. In this case, backing England to win to nil could be a more attractive option.
Suggested Bet: England To Win To Nil, Yes at 7/10
