2026-2027 Nations League: Germany vs. Greece, probable lineups

Germany and Greece take the field at 8:45 p.m. on Sunday for their match on Matchday 2 of Group 2 in League A of the Nations League. Klopp’s team makes its home debut after drawing its first group match against the Netherlands. The Greeks arrive in Germany on a high after their impressive victory in Serbia.

Germany is dealing with a crisis up front: both Musiala and Havertz have been ruled out. Burkardt could start as the center forward, with Adeyemi, Wirtz, and Schade behind him. In midfield, Nmecha will partner with Kimmich.

Greece could rely on the Douvikas-Pavlidis duo up front, with Tzolis and Karetsas creating chances behind them. In midfield, Kourbelis will partner with Zafeiris, while the two fullbacks will be Vagiannidis and Tsimikas.
