Netherlands vs Germany prediction

THE FORECAST

Germany starts under new national team coach Jürgen Klopp, whose intensive pressing philosophy aligns perfectly with the qualities of the current German squad, and that gives them a tactical advantage in an opening match where both teams need to find their rhythm after a long break (86-87 days rest after the World Cup). Netherlands misses the experience of Memphis Depay in attack, although Brobbey is a worthy alternative, but Orange's team traditionally struggles in home matches against Germany when the opponent is well organized. With both teams fresh and without injury or rotation problems, I expect an open, attacking match with a slight preference for the Germans.
