Germany will look to avenge their shock loss to Greece in the UEFA Nations League when the two teams meet again in the second leg.
Greece condemned Germany to a 1-0 defeat in their first home game under Jurgen Klopp last Sunday, but bounced back with a win over Serbia on Thursday.
Greece are the surprise leaders of Group 2 in League A and only missed out on a third win from three thanks to Tijjani Reijnders’ equalizer in a 2-2 draw with the Netherlands.
