Germany - Greece team news and expert analysis
Following Julian Nagelsmann's appointment, Germany performed well at their "home" European Championship, exiting only after conceding an extra-time goal to eventual champions Spain. They also qualified directly for the World Cup, despite starting qualifying with a defeat to Slovakia. However, after opening the summer with a pair of wins, they disappointed. The heavyweight lost to Ecuador in the group stage and then failed to overcome Paraguay in the very first playoff round, losing on penalties. Klopp was brought in to restore the team's reputation. In his debut against the Dutch, Germany came close to winning but conceded an equalizer in the 90+ minute.
Greece competed on equal terms with England in the Nations League and eliminated Scotland in the playoff. However, they collected just seven points from six qualifying matches. Their 2026 friendlies produced draws at best. Opening their tournament campaign in Serbia, they conceded an early goal but eventually won thanks to two goals late in the game.
One of European football's historic giants scored 3.1 goals per game and conceded 1.1. Pavlidis and company scored 0.9 goals while allowing 1.6 per match.
