Germany vs Netherlands LIVE: Uefa Nations League as it happened

Germany vs Netherlands
Uefa Nations League | League A, Group 1
​Venue: Veltins-Arena
Date: ​​Monday, 19 November, 2018
Kick-off: 7:45pm GMT

Netherlands are on the verge of a huge Nations League shock as the Dutch need just a point tonight to qualify for next summer's Finals at the expense of Germany and France.

Few gave Netherlands any hope in a group against the last two teams to have won the World Cup - Germany in 2014 and France this year - but the Oranje are a side reborn under Ronald Koeman's guidance.

The Dutch thrashed Germany 3-0 in the reverse fixture, and a recent 2-0 win over France suggests Joachim Low's hosts - already relegated from the top league - will have to raise their game to prevent Koeman's men from joining England, Portugal and Switzerland in the semi-finals.
