Netherlands and Germany to face off again in Euro quals

Germany have been drawn against Netherlands in Group C for Euro 2020 qualifying.

Joachim Low's side lost 3-0 and drew 2-2 with the 'Oranje' in Group 1 as they were relegated in the inaugural Nations League and the two will lock horns again to reach the European Championship finals in two years' time.

They share Group C with Northern Ireland, Estonia and Belarus.

The group only has five members due to Holland's UEFA Nations League commitments, with the Dutch set to compete with England, Switzerland and Portugal to be named the winners of the inaugural edition of the competition.

Holland have lost just two of their last 15 games, falling to narrow defeats to the 'Three Lions' and world champions France.

Germany, on the other hand, have won just four times in 13 games this calendar year foillowing a dismal World Cup campaign and an even worse Nations League.

The two nations share a bitter rivalry on and off the pitch dating back to Germany's occupation of Holland during World War 2.
