Greece vs Germany Preview: Can Greece Finally Break Germany's Grip?

Greece have played Germany ten times since 1960 and have never won. Seven German victories and three draws tell a one-sided story, and the 23-10 goal difference only underlines it. Today, in front of their own supporters, Greece get another chance to rewrite that history. Greece vs Germany is a Group 2 fixture in UEFA Nations League A, and it comes just a week after the first meeting between the two. Below you'll find the kick-off details, the group picture, the head-to-head record and our prediction, plus the Greece vs Germany match page on score808 if you want to follow the game online.

The Group: Germany, Greece, Netherlands and Serbia

Group 2 is one of the most demanding in League A, and every point counts. Greece opened away to Serbia on 24 September, travelled to Germany on 27 September and hosted the Netherlands on 1 October, so check the live table for how that run went. After today, they face the Netherlands away on 13 November to complete their group schedule.

League A group winners progress to the Nations League Finals, so even a single point against Germany can shape the race.

Greece Preview: Ivan Jovanović's Side Need a Spark

Greece are coached by Ivan Jovanović. Form guides before the Nations League were not kind: Greece were winless in their last five matches, with three draws and two defeats. That makes this home game a chance to turn the mood around.

The hosts do have home advantage and the lessons of the first meeting in Germany. Facing the same opponent twice in a week gives Jovanović a clear picture of what works and what doesn't.

Germany Preview: A Settled Side Looking Sharp

Germany arrive with a very settled team. Starting11's tracker shows they have kept 88% of their starting eleven across their last four matches, and they have named the same eleven in two consecutive games. Before the window they had won three of their last five, scoring 13 goals and conceding six, so the attack is productive.

Consistency like that is a clear advantage in a short, intense international window.

Head-to-Head: Germany Have Never Lost

Germany's record against Greece is remarkable.

• 7 June 2024: Germany 2-1 Greece (friendly)
• 22 June 2012: Germany 4-2 Greece (Euro 2012)
• 28 March 2001: Greece 2-4 Germany (World Cup qualifier)
• 2 September 2000: Germany 2-0 Greece (World Cup qualifier)

Across ten recorded meetings, Germany have seven wins and three draws, with Greece yet to win. This month's meeting in Germany on 27 September adds another chapter, so check the live score808 page for the result.

Key Battles to Watch

1. Greece's home atmosphere. The crowd can lift the hosts, but they will need to channel it into a disciplined start.

2. Germany's attack against Greece's defence. With Germany scoring freely, Greece's backline faces a stern test.

3. Lessons from the first leg. Both coaches have seen each other's plans, so small tactical tweaks could decide this one.

4. Group stakes. With the Netherlands and Serbia also in the group, dropping points now could be costly.

Prediction: Greece vs Germany

Germany's stability, form and unbeaten record against Greece make them clear favourites. Greece's home advantage and the chance to learn from the first game should keep it competitive. Our pick is a Germany win, probably by one or two goals, with a Greek goal very possible. Please gamble responsibly, and only where it is legal.
