Germany vs Netherlands prediction 16.11.2026 | Nations League

Germany are one of Europe's best teams, but for too long they haven't delivered strong results in major tournaments. In the previous World Cup, they finished in 1/16 final and hope to get back on the right track under Jurgen Klopp. Germany played well in the Nations League, with eight points after five rounds, but could still miss the knockout phase. Germany are unbeaten in the last three matches. In the most recent outing, Klopp's team won 3-1 on the road against Serbia. The visitors dominated, especially in the first half, and secured an easy victory.

Germany's head coach, Jurgen Klopp, was thrilled with his team's performance in Belgrade. He commented, "The team played a fantastic game. We need to get used to the fact that we can be really good. Of course, we can score more goals, but that's completely irrelevant to me at the moment. We can't talk about development and then expect everything at once. The passing was wonderful; we were dominant in possession, and the intensity was excellent."

For November matches, Germany is without Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, Angelo Stiller, Waldemar Anton, and Josha Vagnoman.

Netherlands are regularly among the best continental teams. However, like Germany, Oranje finished the previous World Cup in the 1/16 final. In the Nations League, they have been excellent so far, with three wins and two draws, and will likely play in the knockout phase. Netherlands won the last two matches. In the previous game, they won 7-0 at home against Greece. That was one of the Netherlands' best performances in the 21st century, and they will head to Berlin brimming with confidence.

Xavi was delighted after the Netherlands crushed Greece on Friday night. He stated, "It's not about scoring seven goals for me. What I enjoyed most was our performance. We attacked the spaces and pressed high up the pitch. I thought we were particularly good in the first half. I really enjoyed it."

Virgil van Dijk, Brian Brobbey, Nathan Ake, Ryan Gravenberch, Jorrel Hato, and Jeremie Frimpong are unavailable for the national team this month.
