Euro 2012 Group B rivals Germany and the Netherlands have reached an agreement to play in a friendly match this November.
On the German FA's official website, the DFB announced that they will visit Amsterdam on November 14, 2012, for the Klassiker between the neighbouring countries. Kick-off is scheduled for 20.30CET.
In November 2011, Joachim Low's men were 3-0 winners over the Netherlands in their friendly in Hamburg. And now, the two sides will play a 'second leg' of sorts in the Amsterdam ArenA.
Before the friendly, the heavyweights will meet at Euro 2012, where they have been drawn together in Group B. It will be the second match of the tournament for the two sides and will be held in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
Historically, Germany have an edge over the Netherlands: in 38 meetings, the Mannschaft have won 14 times, while the Oranje have been victorious on 10 occasions.
