Expert prediction
Philip Röber, match reporter: Germany vs England in Munich? It's been 21 years since the Three Lions recorded that stunning 5-1 victory in FIFA World Cup qualifying and, add to that the fresher defeat at EURO 2020 last summer, Germany have a point to prove. To win, both teams will have to show more of their potential compared to the Matchday 1 performances. Matches between these rivals rarely disappoint, so we should be in for a treat.
What the coaches say
Hansi Flick, Germany coach: "It's a classic; these matches are always special. We need to be prepared, ready and play with intensity. [Against Italy on Saturday] we showed what we need to improve, but also our potential. England have a lot of quality – they have many great players and play very physically. Kane is world-class. It will be tough, and it's important we to stick to our plan."
Gareth Southgate, England manager: "For me Germany and Brazil are still the benchmark, regularly winning tournaments; you have to respect them. This is exactly the sort of test we need. We are going to push. We want to perform well. I don't think the long season was the cause of the result the other day; the heat was a huge factor."
What happens after the UEFA Nations League group stage?
The four group winners in League A will advance to the knockout finals with, in principle, one appointed as hosts. The semi-finals will be played on 14 and 15 June 2023 with the final and third-place play-off to follow on 18 June.
The teams finishing fourth in the groups in Leagues A will be relegated to League B for the 2024/25 edition.
