Betting prediction for the UEFA Nations League match on Thursday 24.9. 2026 between Netherlands and Germany at stadium Johan Cruijff Arena. Netherlands vs Germany is one of the headline fixtures of the opening UEFA Nations League round, and Under 3.5 Goals looks like the strongest totals selection. The market is currently around 1.70, with prices close to 1.74 available. That is not a huge return, but the four-goal line gives useful protection in a match that could begin cautiously.

Key Betting Points

Both teams begin the Nations League under new head coaches, which may encourage a more controlled opening.
The Netherlands are missing several established players, including De Jong, Simons, Malen and Kluivert.
Germany will not use Wirtz, Adeyemi, Woltemade or Pavlović in this opening fixture.
One of the two 2024 meetings finished Germany 1-0 Netherlands, while the other ended 2-2.
Under 3.5 Goals at 1.74 covers realistic results such as 0-1, 1-1, 2-0 and 2-1.

Both nations are beginning new eras. Xavi Hernández takes charge of the Netherlands for the first time, while Jürgen Klopp makes his Germany debut. With limited training time, both coaches may initially prioritise structure rather than an all-out attacking approach.

The Netherlands also have several important absences. Donyell Malen and Justin Kluivert withdrew because of injury. Frenkie de Jong, Marten de Roon, Jerdy Schouten, Matthijs de Ligt, Mats Wieffer and Xavi Simons are also unavailable, while Memphis Depay and Wout Weghorst were not selected. Therefore, Brian Brobbey should lead a younger attack alongside Cody Gakpo and Crysencio Summerville.

Germany have more continuity in attack, but Klopp has split his large squad across the international window. Florian Wirtz, Karim Adeyemi, Nick Woltemade and Aleksandar Pavlović are among those not involved in Amsterdam. Leon Goretzka and Deniz Undav are also out. Kai Havertz should therefore start through the middle, with Jamal Musiala and Kevin Schade providing support.

Tactically, the Netherlands should try to control possession through Ryan Gravenberch, Tijjani Reijnders and Teun Koopmeiners. Germany can respond with Joshua Kimmich and Felix Nmecha protecting the centre. That midfield balance could reduce the number of clear chances early.

The historical trend is mixed rather than strongly supportive of the Under. Their 2024 meetings finished 2-2 and 1-0. Therefore, the stronger case comes from current squad conditions and the likely caution surrounding two managerial debuts.

Summary

A 1-1 or 2-1 scoreline fits the likely pattern. At around 1.70 or better, Under 3.5 Goals offers a useful cushion, with the most likely (algorithmic) result being 1:1.

Predicted lineup Netherlands: Verbruggen, Dumfries, Van Hecke, Van Dijk, Van de Ven, Koopmeiners, Gravenberch, Reijnders, Summerville, Brobbey, Gakpo

Predicted lineup Germany: Ter Stegen, Treu, Tah, Schlotterbeck, Brown, Kimmich, Nmecha, Karl, Musiala, Schade, Havertz
