Verdict: Vangelis Pavlidis over 0.5 shots on target
Starting with the hosts, while Greece might have suffered a second-half collapse at home against the Netherlands on Thursday night as they were eventually forced to settle for a rollercoaster 2-2 stalemate, Ivan Jovanovic’s men should take plenty of positives away from their sensational start to proceedings. Getting their Nations League campaign underway with a 2-1 victory away at Serbia, the Ethniki also claimed an iconic scalp on home soil last week. Landing a famous 1-0 win in Augsburg, Greece will be dreaming of a repeat performance when they return to the Toumba Stadium on Sunday night. Likewise, registering seven points from their opening three Nations League showdowns, Jovanovic’s high-flying squad have already cemented their spot as the League A’s ultimate surprise packages.
In what looks set to be a huge blow for Greece, new Arsenal recruit Christos Tzolis limped offer after just 15 minutes with a suspected hamstring injury against the Netherlands on Thursday night, the one-time Norwich City starlet will not play any part here. Coming off the bench and finding the net after replacing Tzolis in Thessaloniki, Neom attacker Georgios Masouras will be handed a start.
Despite yet another speedy turnaround this weekend, West Ham defender Konstantinos Mavropanos will start at the back. Making a summer switch to Premier League newcomers Hull City, Konstantinos Tzolakis will start between the sticks on Sunday night.
As for the visitors, finally putting a maiden Nations League victory on the board in midweek as they clinched a 2-0 victory at home against Serbia, Jurgen Klopp will now be demanding some essential stability. Coming under plenty of scrutiny last week as they fell to that remarkable 1-0 loss in Augsburg, the former Liverpool boss has plenty of expectations on his shoulders. Watching their World Cup adventure come to an infamous end at the Round of 32 stage as they were hit with penalty shootout heartbreak against Paraguay, Germany also know that defensive stability is key going forward. In fact, the European giants have failed to register consecutive clean sheets across all competitions so far this calendar year.
Both picking up their own respective muscle issues while away with Germany over the past week, the duo of Arsenal attacker Kai Havertz and Bayern Munich superstar Jamal Musiala will not feature here. With Klopp naming a bumper squad this month that includes 44 players, the ex-Liverpool manager will ring the changes on Sunday night.
Handed a full Nations League rest earlier in the week, Joshua Kimmich will return and should lead Germany out here. Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck is expected to once again miss out due to a recent ankle blow.
