Germany v Greece preview: Nations League 2026-27 at WWK Arena on September 27

Germany will host Greece at the WWK Arena on September 27 in their second group-stage fixture of the UEFA Nations League 2026-27.

Jurgen Klopp’s Germany were held to a 1-1 draw by the Netherlands in their previous match, after taking an early lead but failing to control the tempo and missing crucial chances; the hosts will seek to use home advantage. Greece, coached by Ivan Jovanovic, recovered from conceding early to beat Serbia 2-1 in their last Nations League outing and arrive on the road buoyed by that comeback.

Germany have lost Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala from the squad on fitness grounds and have named the following XI: Ter Stegen (GK); Treu, Tah, Schlotterbeck, Brown; Nmecha, Kimmich; Adeyemi, Amiri, Schade; Gnabry.

Felix Nmecha, 25, continues to impress for Germany; he helped his side take the lead in the last game and is noted for his ability to control midfield and chip in with goals, making him an important presence for the hosts.

For Greece, Vangelis Pavlidis, 27, did not score against Serbia but provided an assist and remained a regular threat to the opposition’s defence; he can be deployed as a sole striker or as a second striker. Greece’s listed XI is: Tzolakis (GK); Vagiannidis, Mavropanos, Retsos, Tsimikas; Karetsas, Kourbelis, Zafeiris, Tzolis; Kostoulas, Pavlidis.

Broadcast arrangements for the match include Sony Sports Network and SonyLIV in India; DAZN, DasErste, RTL+ and ZDF sportstudio in Germany; NOVA Greece and Alpha TV in Greece; and FOX Sports, FuboTV and ViX in the USA. The fixture is scheduled for September 27 (BST) at the WWK Arena.

The preview gives Germany a slight edge owing to home advantage and squad quality and projects them as likely to take three points, while Greece will aim to carry momentum from their 2-1 win over Serbia into this away fixture.
