Prediction
Germany's new manager Klopp is using the Nations League to test a host of uncapped players but Die Mannschaft should still be competitive in Amsterdam.
Both teams to score has been a winning bet in seven of Germany's last eight internationals – and the Netherlands have an identical record.
Klopp's squad for Germany's first two Group A2 games includes attacking stars such as Arsenal's Kai Havertz and Bayern Munich trio Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl.
Dutch boss Xavi is missing in-form Roma forward Malen but striker Brian Brobbey will be full of confidence after his hat-trick for Sunderland at Manchester City last weekend.
Brobbey scored three times in just 225 minutes of playing time at the World Cup and he can add to his tally of international goals against a leaky German defence.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha looks well worth backing to have a shot on target on matchday one.
Nmecha has made a great start to the Bundesliga season, finding the net in two of his first three starts for BVB.
He scored Germany's opening goal in their 7-1 World Cup rout of Curacao and had eight shots in three group games at the tournament.
Score Prediction - Netherlands 2-2 Germany
