Preview for Germany v Greece
Germany will be looking for their first win under Jurgen Klopp when they welcome Greece to WWK Arena in Augsburg for a UEFA Nations League A clash on Sunday night.
Die Mannschaft were held to a 2-2 draw by the Netherlands in Amsterdam earlier this week, while Greece claimed a late 2-1 win over Serbia to begin their campaign with three points.
Germany will now return to home soil, where they have won their last five competitive matches. Their most recent home defeat came in June 2025, when Portugal and France both recorded Nations League victories in Germany during the semi-finals and third-place playoff.
However, Germany are currently without a win in their last three matches, having drawn once and lost twice during a run that also included their disappointing World Cup exit against Paraguay in June.
Greece, meanwhile, arrive in Augsburg after making an impressive start to life in Nations League A.
Piratiko looked set to suffer defeat in Belgrade after Serbia took a fourth-minute lead, but Arsenal forward Christos Tzolis levelled in the second half before substitute Anastasios Douvikas completed the comeback late on.
The result ended Greece’s five-game winless run across all competitions, which had included three draws and two defeats.
Germany have dominated the recent head-to-head record, with Greece failing to win any of their last 10 meetings with Die Mannschaft. Germany also won the most recent encounter, a 2-1 friendly victory in June 2024.
