*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Germany are sitting pretty at the top of Nations League A Group 3 following their 2-1 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina last week and Die Mannschaft, who are purring under Julian Nagelsmann, have been installed as 4/5 favourites to oust the Netherlands.
Netherlands were held to a 1-1 draw in Hungary in their last outing, though their unbeaten record remains intact after three games. The 10/3 underdogs’ record might blemished for the first time in Munich, however. Read more of our latest football tips for the Nations League fixture by clicking the link.

Player to watch – Deniz Undav
Deniz Undav was Germany’s match-winning star in Die Mannschaft’s 2-1 win over Hungary last week. The Stuttgart attacker notched both of his team’s goals, taking his recent tally to three goals in two games for his country.
Undav is on the up
Late bloomer Undav’s reputation has exploded over the past year and having hit three goals in just five appearances for Germany, the former Brighton forward has already shown that he can mix it at a high level on the international stage. Expect a big impact from the 28-year-old against the Netherlands.
