Jürgen Klopp made his debut as Germany coach in the 1-1 draw with the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League a few days ago. Felix Nmecha gave the visitors the lead before the Dutch equalized thanks to a stoppage time goal from Cody Gakpo.
Greece, who won 2-1 over Serbia in their latest Nations League match, will be the away side as Die Mannschaft hosts The Pirate Ship in Augsburg.

Team news
Here’s what we think the team will look like against Greece:
Player status updates:
IN: Alexander Nübel, Josha Vagnoman, Max Rosenfelder, Yannik Engelhardt, Anton Stach, Younes Ebnoutalib, Chris Führich
OUT: Marc-André ter Stegen, Nathaniel Brown, Jonathan Tah, Nadiem Amiri, Felix Nmecha, Kai Havertz, Karim Adeyemi
Three things to know:
- Germany will be without Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz, who both picked up minor injuries before and during the match against the Netherlands respectively.
- Greece has never won against Germany, drawing three and losing seven in 10 matches. Those three draws came in 1974, 1975, and 1980.
- Germany’s biggest win over Greece was a 3-0 win during the qualifying phase for the 1962 World Cup.
Prediction
Germany wins 2-1. Chris Führich and Joshua Kimmich will both score to top off their impressive performances on the night. Konstantinos Karetsas will pull one back in the dying minutes, but Germany will hold on for the win.
