- Germany has a strong unbeaten record against Greece.
Jürgen Klopp will oversee his second match as Germany's head coach, aiming for his first victory against Greece. This UEFA Nations League fixture takes place at Augsburg's WWK Arena, following a frustrating 1-1 draw with the Netherlands where Germany conceded a late equalizer. Greece currently leads Group 2 after securing a 95th-minute win against Serbia.
Germany is keen to secure a win early in Klopp's tenure, emphasizing his philosophy of work ethic and intensity. Despite recent underperformance, improvements in defensive pressing are expected. The team possesses significant quality and is favored to win.
Historically, Germany has never lost to Greece in 10 previous encounters, winning their most recent match 2-1 in June 2024. Key players like Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Burkardt are expected to feature, with Klopp adjusting the squad due to injuries to Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz. Greece, despite being ranked lower, boasts in-form forwards like Vangelis Pavlidis and Charalampos Kostoulas.
The match is scheduled for Sunday, September 27, with a kick-off time of 7:45 PM BST.
