Venue (City, Stadium) | WWK ARENA |
Germany host Greece at the WWK ARENA on Sunday, and this Germany vs Greece clash pits the home favourites against a Greece side sitting top of the group.
Die Mannschaft opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands, Felix Nmecha's goal cancelled out by a stoppage-time equaliser. They have failed to win any of their last three international outings.
Greece could not have wished for a better start, beating Serbia 2-1 away thanks to a 95th-minute Anastasios Douvikas winner. That result ended a five-match winless streak for the visitors.
Germany have the better of this pairing, winning four of the five meetings between the sides with one draw and no away wins. That record makes them clear favourites here.
Germany vs Greece Form
Germany were heading for victory in their UEFA Nations League opener before conceding to the Netherlands in stoppage time, and Die Mannschaft have now failed to win any of their last three internationals. Felix Nmecha found the net in Amsterdam, but a slow finish cost them. On home soil they remain heavy favourites, ranked third in the group for form.
Greece arrive with the wind at their backs after kickstarting their campaign with three points, beating Serbia 2-1 away as Christos Tzolis scored and Anastasios Douvikas struck a 94th-minute winner. That result ended a five-match winless streak and lifted the visitors to the top of the group, where they sit first for both standing and form.
Germany vs Greece Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Germany: Leon Goretzka (Injured/out), Kai Havertz (Injured/out), Anton Stiller (Injured/doubtful)
Greece: Giannis Konstantelias (out)
Germany
Kai Havertz suffered an injury against the Netherlands and will miss the visit of Greece, with Younes Ebnoutalib of Eintracht Frankfurt expected to replace him in the starting XI. There could be a change in central midfield too, with Anton Stach in line for a recall. Leon Goretzka is also sidelined.
Greece
Greece look set to bring Fotis Ioannidis into the starting XI for this one. Borussia Dortmund's Giannis Konstantelias is the away side's only notable absentee, denying them a creative spark in the final third against a strong German defence.

Germany vs Greece Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Germany are heavy favourites on home soil and the numbers support that view. Greece have momentum after their win in Serbia, but Die Mannschaft's quality and their dominant record in this fixture should tell at the WWK ARENA. Germany 2-0 Greece.
Best Bets
Back Germany to lead at the interval and secure victory at the final whistle in the Half Time/Full Time market. Germany are heavy home favourites but offer little value in the outright win market, so this angle leans into their historical dominance in the fixture, with four wins from five meetings, and the early control you would expect from them on home turf.
Select 'No' in the Both Teams To Score market for at least one side to keep a clean sheet. With Jonathan Tah and Nico Schlotterbeck marshalling the back line and Joshua Kimmich shielding in front, Germany are well placed to stifle a Greece attack missing their creative spark in Giannis Konstantelias.
Germany vs Greece Bet Builder
This four-leg Germany vs Greece bet builder backs a Germany win, Younes Ebnoutalib to score anytime, both teams to score and Nectarios Triantis to be shown a card.
Germany are heavy home favourites with the better side on paper and a dominant record in this fixture, so backing the hosts to win is the natural anchor to the bet.
With Kai Havertz out, Younes Ebnoutalib is expected to lead the line as Germany's central attacking focal point, making the Eintracht Frankfurt man a tempting pick to find the net.
Greece showed their attacking threat in scoring twice to beat Serbia, so both teams to score adds value in what should be an open contest at the WWK ARENA.
Facing sustained pressure against Germany's attack, Nectarios Triantis is one to watch for a booking as Greece look to slow the hosts down.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 14/1 and is as short as 8.51/1 elsewhere.

Germany vs Greece Talking Points
There is plenty riding on this one for both camps. Germany are still chasing their first win of the campaign after that late slip against the Netherlands, and the pressure is on to make home advantage count against a Greece side full of confidence. The UEFA Nations League is unfamiliar territory for the visitors, competing in League A for the first time following their promotion, and topping the group after Matchday 1 has raised the stakes. Younes Ebnoutalib carries Germany's attacking load in Havertz's absence, while Greece will hope to spring a surprise despite missing Giannis Konstantelias.
