UEFA Nations League: England vs. Germany Preview, Head to Head, Odds, Prediction

The European classic between England and Germany takes place on Monday night, with the two bottom-placed teams in Group 3 of the UEFA Nations League A division clash at Wembley. This stadium saw a couple of memorable battles between these two rival nations, most recently last year, in the EURO seims. The atmosphere in both units is very bad. England suffered the relegation to the B division, as they can’t move from the bottom of the standings, while Germany sits third, and has no chance of reaching the top spot.

Preview

England (+135) lost to Italy, which marked their trip to the second tier of the competition. Gareth Southgates’ crew performed utterly poorly throughout the entire edition, not being able to record at least one victory and collecting just two points so far.

To make it even worse, England failed to score in all but one matchup in the assembly that includes Hungary, Italy, and Germany. In the previous three events, Kane and the boys were nowhere near hitting the target, which is something that raises concern among the fans before the start of the World Cup.

A loss against Hungary in London, 0-4, was the last call for waking up, and Southgate is on the move now. He needs to snap his unit out of this situation, otherwise, things won’t be OK.

Germany (+200) had some setbacks with injured and absent players, but even that can’t and won’t justify a loss to Hungary this Friday night. It was a slap in the face for die Mannschaft and the crew, the one which should be an alarm.

After three consecutive draws in the UNL (all 1-1, vs. Italy, England, and Hungary) the four-time World champs defeated Italy 5-2 at home, indicating that they will attack first place in this group. However, they needed a win over Hungary in order to reach the same, which didn’t happen.

Interestingly, six of the past seven contests Germany played all ended under 2.5 goals. In the past six straight Flick’s squad allowed at least one goal, which suggests that he has big problems in defense.

Latest News

We are going to see some changes in the English team, that is for sure, as we expect to see them more offensive-minded than before.

Goretzka and Neuer are still out.

Head to Head

The first meeting in Germany ended 1-1. Hofmann scored an opener for the home team, while Kane leveled the score in the 88th minute from the penalty.

England was better in the event before that, which was in the EURO semis, back when they beat the Germans, 2-0. The previous four clashes were all with under 2.5 goals.

Prediction

This is a good fit for over 2.5 goals. Both teams have no pressure and will try to cover up the failures with an open-minded and offensive approach. In our opinion, this should result in a high number of goals, and the current odds on three or more at +110. We think there is a very good value in this, therefore, it should be tried.

Pick: Over 2.5 goals +110
