Germany has won twice since the World Cup, both in friendlies against Peru and Russia. They even won a fantastic contest against Sweden in the second match of their disastrous campaign in Russia. Whilst results have not been great, they were drawn in a very tricky group in the UEFA Nations League 2018.

France were on a high and are arguably the best International side on paper at the moment. Netherlands came into the tournament with a point to prove under new coach Ronald Koeman. They drew against France at home and were outplayed by the resurgent Dutch who also beat France in their reverse fixture.

The Germans conceded late set-piece goals in the final game of the campaign leaving a lot to be desired but were far from embarrassed. They looked short on confidence.
