Netherlands v Germany: Total Goals Tip
Already a big game when the draw was made, this fixture now has massive significance, particularly for the Dutch.
We could be set for one of the games of the tournament on Wednesday night when two of the favourites meet in Kharkiv. Both Germany and Netherlands were stifled for long periods in their opening matches and for the latter that proved very costly in the end.
The consequence of defeat to Denmark is that the Dutch will surely come out all guns blazing here. To be fair, that was their approach on Saturday but 28 goal attempts all went begging. Germany only had 12 shots in their 1-0 victory over Portugal but they faced opponents intent on ‘parking the bus’ for long periods.
Against a team who will actually come out and play, Joachim Lowe’s players will relish the space they should get on the counter-attack. This should be an end-to-end thriller between the two highest scoring team on the continent in qualifying. Netherlands fired in 37 goals in 10 matches with Germany netting 34 times from the same number.
We can get best price evens (Bet365) on there being over 2.5 goals in the match and that really should be free money with the attacking players on display.
