Germany vs Netherlands Prediction and Betting Tips: Best Bets for Heavyweight Clash in Frankfurt

Two European heavyweights face off on Tuesday as Germany take on Netherlands in Frankfurt. The game may only be a friendly, but with the European Championships just around the corner both teams will be looking to put in a solid showing.  

Germany are the favourites with all betting sites to get the win on Tuesday priced at 19/20 with most firms. The draw is chalked up at 13/5, while a win for the visitors can be sided with at a best price of 51/20 with 10Bet. 

In terms of team news, friendlies can often be hard to predict starting X!s, but the hosts will be without the services of Manuel Neuer, with Marc-Andre ter Stergen set to continue between the sticks. Denzel Dumfires is expected to return to right back in place of Jeremie Frimpong for the Netherlands. 

Germany put in one of their best performances of the last decade when beating World Cup runners-up France on Friday. Goals from Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz gave Julian Nagelsmann’s men the victory, which was just the tonic after back-to-back defeats against Austria and Turkey in November’s international break.  

The Oranje fared slightly better in their friendly on Friday evening as they came out comfortable 4-0 winners against Scotland. Donyell Malen, Wout Weghorst, Tijani Reijnders and Gini Wijnaldum all found the net, making it four consecutive wins to nil for the Netherlands.  

We feel we have two very similar sides here, with the Netherlands scoring 12 goals without reply across their last four, while Germany will be buoyant after their impressive victory against France. Three of the last for friendlies between this pair have resulted in a stalemate and another here is worth taking a punt on at 13/5.  

For those seeking a selection at a bigger price, we also like the look of Antonio Rudiger to find his way into the book. This may only be a friendly but when these two meet their can often be a nice bit of bite considering their rivalry over the years. 

Rudiger has been a regular offender at club level this season with no Real Madrid player been shown more yellow cards in La Liga than the centre-back. In total, the 31-year-old has been shown seven yellows in the league this season. He was also carded the last times these two met, almost exactly a year to the day in a game which was also a friendly. Not many betting sites have the player cards market priced for this clash so make sure to have a shop around closer to kick-off for any better prices.
