As part of the last round of the Nations League in League A, a great derby of European football awaits us. At Wembley, England welcomes Germany in a game without any significance in the result, and I think we are in for a game where we can see quite a few different lineups compared to what we will see in Qatar. Somewhat unexpectedly, both teams enter this match completely relieved, but for completely opposite reasons compared to what we are used to when it comes to these two teams. Germany managed to stay in league A, while England took the last place in the table and in the next cycle of the Nations League they are expected to play against teams such as Iceland, Kazakhstan, Montenegro and other teams that are certainly not even close to the quality of the England team. There is a high probability that the coach of England Southgate calculated when it comes to this competition, trying to avoid injuries before Qatar, but England was not without the biggest stars from the team in any match, and the results and the game they show is more than worrying. It sounds incredible, but San Marino and England are equal in one parameter. Both national teams failed to score a goal from open play in the last five games. Kane, Sterling, Grealish, Saka, Bellingham, Mount are just some of the players who regularly score goals in their teams, and England scored only one goal in the last 5 matches, it is obvious that something is not right in the national team. Criticism of Southgate and his choice of players, especially in defense, only intensified after the defeat against Italy and a large part of the public in England would very much like to see someone else on the England bench.
Like most of the big European national teams, Germany did not look like itself in this Nations League cycle. With the defeat against Hungary, they lost their chances of being in the play-off and the match against England will be only for honor. The defeat against the Hungarians was the first for the Germans after 13 games and knowing their mentality, I am pretty sure that they will want to end this competition with a positive result and head to Qatar in a good mood. And if the Germans would like to play against any team to boost their morale and make their fans happy, it is definitely England. The rivalry between these two national teams is huge and a victory would certainly mean a lot to both teams. The situation in both national teams is not the best, but I honestly think that Germany is the more stable team at the moment and that they will quickly forget the last game and return to winning ways. In this match, Hansi Flick will not be able to count on Neuer, Goretzka and Brandt, but there are certainly more than enough players available to replace them. Due to the form in the last games, I really don't see England as a clear favorite here, and for that reason I choose a double chance on the Germans.
