Netherlands v Germany: kick-off time and TV channel for Nations League tie | OneFootball

Germany visit the Netherlands on Thursday as the Nations League gets under way, with newly appointed coaches Jürgen Klopp and Xavi to make their bows.

According to L'Équipe, both teams have refreshed things since the World Cup, installing Klopp with Germany and Xavi with the Netherlands.

Germany have named an unusual double squad for their opening four fixtures, one group for the first two matches then a second for the next two. In all, 44 players were called up, including 16 uncapped. Leroy Sané and Deniz Undav were omitted, while Leon Goretzka is injured.

Xavi selected 26 for the Netherlands, introducing Ruben Van Bommel of PSV and Gjivai Zechiël of Feyenoord. Jeremie Frimpong returns after missing the World Cup.

The contest looks tight. The nations have met 48 times, with 18 draws, 12 Dutch wins and 18 German victories.

Their last two Nations League meetings ended 1-0 to Germany and 2-2.

TV details, Thursday 24 September at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam, kick-off 20:45, live on the L'Équipe channel.
