Greece had 26 shots in their recent win over Serbia in Belgrade, so I like their chances of scoring on Sunday. Still, Germany should have the quality and experience under Jurgen Klopp to take the points.
Key Stats
- Germany have won 11 of their last 14 matches.
- Germany have won their last 4 matches against Greece.
- Germany have seen BTTS in 8 of their last 9 matches.
- Germany have seen BTTS in their last 3 matches against Greece.
- Greece have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 matches.
Germany Dominate Head to Head
This is going to be the 11th meeting between these two nations. Germany won seven of the previous 10 encounters, while Greece have yet to secure a victory.
Die Mannschaft Seeking First Victory Under Klopp
Germany were just a couple of minutes away from securing three points on Thursday in their UNL opening match against the Netherlands, conceding in stoppage time in a 1-1 draw.
Jurgen Klopp's side gained lead in the 32nd minute through Felix Nmecha, while ending this clash with 1.45-3.18 expected goals and 2-10 shots on target.
Germany failed to meet expectations at the WC 2026, making it to the elimination stage after securing six points in the group stage, then losing to Paraguay on penalties (1-1 in regular time). This led to the resignation of the national coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Greece Pulled Comeback in Belgrade
Greece's confidence and spirits were not high ahead of the new UEFA Nations League season. They performed awful in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers while also struggling in international friendlies this year.
Start of the match against Serbia was not promising on Thursday, conceding an early goal, but then Ivan Jovanovic's side gained control, created a lot of chances and deservedly won 2-1. Christos Tzolis and Anastasios Douvikas were the scorers.
Before that, Hellas had two international friendlies in June, barely avoiding loss against Sweden 2-2, followed by a 1-0 home defeat to Italy.
