Germany will host the Netherlands at the Deutsche Bank Park in what promises to be an epic encounter. Die Mannschaft are coming into this clash highly motivated after getting back to winning ways with an impressive 2-0 win over France on Saturday.

Toni Kroos made a scintillating return to the national team and will prove influential for coach Julian Nagelsmann after an impressive display at the weekend.

The Oranje will be faced with a steep test as they prepare for the upcoming 2024 Euros. Ronald Koeman’s side comfortably defeated Scotland 4-0 in their previous encounter.

The last time both these teams met it ended with a 1-1 draw, for this fixture, tip Germany to win as the home side.

Spain 11/10 | Draw 2/1 | Brazil 23/10

Spain’s winning streak of eight games came to an end on Friday after they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Colombia. Coach Luis de la Fuente’s men will have a big task on Tuesday night as they take on Brazil.

The Samba Boys got the better of England by 1-0, with the Brazilians looking to continue with their form in this clash after losing three straight games during their World Cup qualifiers in 2023 before they played the Three Lions on Saturday.

Spain didn’t utilise their chances against Colombia facing a team like Brazil the 2010 World champions are in danger here, back the Brazilians as overall winners.

England 8/10 | Draw 22/10 | Belgium 33/10

After an underwhelming result at Wembley Stadium against Brazil, England will be looking to bounce back at the same venue when they welcome Belgium.

On the other hand Belgium they are still a decent team ranked fourth on FIFA rankings they will give the Three Lions a good run here.

Backing both teams to score at 7/4 but tip England is the overall winner is the best bet.

Didier Deschamps’s men suffered a 2-0 defeat against Germany at home. Now the Blues will be looking to turn things around when they play Chile.
