Is this really the Premier League's 'Bermuda Triangle'?

Do the stats back the social media meme that Bournemouth, Brighton and Brentford form a Premier League 'Bermuda Triangle' where teams lose points?

Is this really the Premier League's 'Bermuda Triangle'?

Netherlands and Germany commence their new manager era with a Nations League Group A2 clash. Jurgen Klopp returns to management after a tumultuous World Cup for Germany, while Xavi assumes his first managerial role following Ronald Koeman's resignation. Both coaches aim to make a strong impression in their inaugural matches. The fixture takes place at the Johann Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam on Thursday, 24 September, with kickoff at 7:45pm BST.

British viewers can catch the action on Prime Video, priced at £2.49 on a pay-per-view basis. However, Donyell Malen and Justin Kluivert have pulled out of the Dutch team due to injury, with Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt also unavailable. Memph Depay, the country's top scorer, did not make the initial squad but captain Virgil van Dijk returns from talks about his future with new manager Xavi.

Klopp has implemented an unconventional tactic by splitting his squad, reducing it from 44 players to 24 for this match. Players such as Florian Wirtz and Nick Woltemade are not included, while Philipp Treu might make his debut at right-back after impressing at Freiburg. The Dutch lineup consists of Verbruggen, Dumfries, Van Hecke, Van Dijk, Van de Ven, Koopmeiners, Gravenberch, Reijnders, Summerville, and Brobbey.

Germany's squad includes Ter Stegen, Treu, Tah, Schlotterbeck, Brown, Kimmich, Nmecha, Karl, Musiala, and Havertz.
