The Netherlands are back in action with another big-name international friendly this week as they take on Germany on Tuesday. Both teams have excellent players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Germany dominated their World Cup 2022 qualification group, winning nine games and suffering only one defeat. Die Mannschaft have become a force to be reckoned with over the past year and defeated Israel by a 2-0 margin last week.
The Netherlands also managed a first-place finish in their group and have been in impressive form this year. The Oranje eased past Denmark in their previous game and will be confident going into this match.
