On Monday night, Germany will play host to the Netherlands in the team’s final action of 2018.
Germany had a degrading year so far as they made it two wins from five matches when they defeated injured Russia 3-0 in the last time. Leroy Sane, Niklas Sule, and Serge Gnabry contributed their effort in Germany’s winning. Matches hereafter proved to be unfair to Germany as they lost two matches- 3-0 against the Netherlands and 2-1 away to France – despite Toni Kroos having given them the lead in the latter. Serge Gnabry contributed four goals in four international games. Thomas Muller is all set to make his 100th International appearance adding the 38th goal for Germany.
While the Netherlands had already dismantled Germany last month with a 3-0 home win. Netherland’s winning streak continued by a 2-1 friendly win against Peru and a 2-1 against France. Last month, they held into a 1-1 draw with Belgium.
