Germany face the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League on Monday with the goal of closing in on topping group C via a victory.

Germany come into the game against the Netherlands following a decisive 2-1 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday, where Deniz Undav netted twice for Die Mannschaft.

Germany are unbeaten in their two encounters with Ronald Koeman's Oranje this year, but they had to come back from behind on both occasions (winning 2-1 and 2-2 in March and September respectively).

The Netherlands, however, will be disappointed they were unable to join Julian Nagelsmann's side with nine points at the summit of the table as they needed a late Denzel Dumfries equaliser to rescue a point.

Also, they will be without skipper Virgil Van Dijk as he received a red card for a second yellow after he lunged into Hungary's Csoboth.

Germany team news

On Friday, Germany had made five changes against Bosnia and Herzegovina from their previous match against the Netherlands with Tim Kleindienst, Serge Gnabry, Antonio Rüdiger, Alexander Nübel and Maximilian Mittelstädt all coming in.

As for team news, Germany remain without Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, Marc-André ter Stegen, David Raum, Robin Koch, Benjamin Henrichs, Niclas Füllkrug and Chris Führich.

Oliver Baumann is set to make his debut for the national team, confirmed by Julian Nagelsmann to be coming in for Alexander Nübel against the Dutch.
