Pre-match preview

Germany

Jürgen Klopp looks set to make several changes against Greece. Alexander Nübel will start in goal instead of Marc ter Stegen, although Klopp stressed that the decision has nothing to do with the performance of his first-choice goalkeeper. Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala have both left the squad through injury following the 1-1 draw with the Netherlands. Younes Ebnoutalib, who replaced Havertz early in Amsterdam, is therefore in a strong position to make his first start for Germany.

Nadiem Amiri could continue in the number ten role. Florian Wirtz was called into the squad earlier than planned following the two injuries, but Klopp has already confirmed that he will not start. There could also be a change in central defence, with Nico Schlotterbeck only recently back from injury. Yann Aurel Bisseck could therefore partner Jonathan Tah, while Nathaniel Brown and Philipp Treu are expected to keep their places at full-back.

Greece

Ivan Jovanović has little reason to make major changes after Greece opened their Nations League campaign with an impressive 2-1 victory away to Serbia. Christos Tzolakis started in goal in Belgrade behind a defence of Kostas Tsimikas, Panagiotis Retsos, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Georgios Vagiannidis. The same back four could be used again, although Konstantinos Koulierakis is another serious option in central defence.

Charalampos Kostoulas was handed his first start against Serbia and could once again partner Vangelis Pavlidis in attack. Christos Tzolis and Konstantinos Karetsas provide the creativity from the wider areas, with Christos Zafeiris and Dimitris Kourbelis in midfield. Jovanović can therefore largely rely on the same team that gave Greece a winning start to life in League A.
