The Jurgen Klopp era continues on Sunday as Germany take on Greece in a Nations League contest in Augsburg.
Germany were denied victory by a stoppage-time equaliser in the Netherlands on Thursday, while Greece launched their Nations League campaign with a dramatic comeback win in Serbia.
The hosts are short-priced favourites to win, but recent results suggest Greece can contribute to an entertaining contest.

Germany and Greece have met on just two occasions since 2012. Germany claimed victories in both games, with a 4:2 win at Euro 2012, and a 2:1 friendly win in 2024.
Germany team overview
Germany return home after kicking-off their Nations League campaign with an entertaining 1:1 draw against the Netherlands in Amsterdam.
Felix Nmecha put Klopp's side ahead in the first half, but Cody Gakpo scored a brilliant stoppage-time equaliser to secure a deserved share of the points.
Germany were forced to withstand heavy pressure after the interval, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen making several important saves before Gakpo's late equaliser.
While undoubtedly in a period of transition, Germany have remained in solid form over the past year. Die Mannschaft won 11 and lost only one of 14 internationals.
Still, a lack of clean sheets remains one of the biggest issues for new boss Klopp. Germany conceded at least one goal in eight of their last nine matches. All eight games finished with BTTS.
Sunday's contest against Greece will be Klopp's first home game since replacing Julian Nagelsmann following Germany's early World Cup exit.
The new head coach selected two separate squads for Germany’s four Nations League fixtures, although Joshua Kimmich and several other senior players remain available for Sunday's clash.
Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz have withdrawn after suffering injuries in Amsterdam. Musiala sustained a thigh problem during the warm-up, while Havertz was forced off with a potentially serious muscle injury.
Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Burkardt have joined the squad and could feature against Greece.

Greece team overview
Greece travel to Augsburg in high spirits after securing a dramatic 2:1 victory against Serbia in Belgrade on Thursday.
Andrija Živković opened the scoring after just four minutes and despite trailing until deep into the second period, goals from Arsenal winger Christos Tzolis and substitute Anastasios Douvikas completed an impressive turnaround for the Greeks.
Since failing to qualify for the World Cup, Ivan Jovanović’s side had failed to win any of four friendly fixtures earlier this year.
Despite their lack of recent form, Greece have shown plenty of quality in the past couple of years. The Azure & White secured promotion to the Nations League A after picking up 15 points in a competitive section featuring England, Ireland and Finland.
Usually a reliable choice to get on the scoresheet, Jovanović’s men scored at least one goal in 11 of their last 15 competitive fixtures. They also scored twice in a summer friendly away against Sweden.
Head coach Jovanovic has no fresh injury concerns following Thursday's victory in Serbia.
Dimitrios Giannoulis and Pantelis Chatzidiakos remain unavailable
Douvikas is pushing for a starting position after scoring the winner on Thursday.

Prediction
Germany have struggled to keep clean sheets in the past year, and I expect Greece to cause the home side some problems this weekend.
Both teams to score is my best bet on Sunday.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Germany have seen BTTS in 8 of their last 9 matches
- Germany have seen BTTS in their last 2 matches against Greece
- Greece have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 7 matches (competitive fixtures)
Main prediction Germany - Greece
