Germany vs Greece Preview

WWK Arena hosts a Group 2 clash on Sunday with early bragging rights at stake, as leaders Greece travel to face a Germany side already playing catch-up after an opening-day draw. Germany’s run ended with a share of the spoils, drawing 1-1 away at Netherlands in their Nations League opener. That followed a penalty shootout exit at the World Cup, a 1-1 draw with Paraguay after extra time lost 4-3 on spot-kicks. Before that, a 2-1 defeat to Ecuador made it back-to-back losses, while further back Germany had beaten Ivory Coast 2-1 at home and, before that, thrashed Curacao 7-1 to open their World Cup campaign. Across these five matches Germany have taken two wins, a draw and two losses, with the Paraguay shootout their toughest moment and the Curacao scoreline their most emphatic.

Greece head into this one off the back of a win, beating Serbia 2-1 away in their Nations League opener. Before that, a 0-1 home defeat to Italy had continued a winless run stretching back through a 2-2 draw away at Sweden and a goalless draw at Hungary. Further back, a 0-1 home defeat to Paraguay opened the sample. Across these five matches Greece have taken one win, two draws and two losses, with the Serbia win snapping a run of four games without victory.

Germany have never lost this fixture across the last five meetings, winning four of them to Greece’s none, with a single draw completing the sample. The most recent meeting finished 2-1 to Germany at home in June 2024, following a comprehensive 4-2 home win in 2012. Sunday’s game at WWK Arena continues a run in which Greece’s best result remains a 0-0 draw back in 1980, with Germany also winning 4-2 away in 2001 and 2-0 at home in 2000.

Greece sit top of Group 2 on three points after their opening win, with Germany third on one point following their draw at Netherlands. A win for Germany at WWK Arena would take them to four points, level with Greece at the top of the group.

Germany’s Nations League meeting with Greece will be shown in the UK on Amazon Prime Video, with German coverage on Das Erste and Greek viewers able to watch via Nova Sports Start and Alpha TV. In the US, it’s available on Fox Sports 2, fuboTV, ViX and FOX One.
