Germany vs Greece

, KO: 19:45 Jun 7, 2024, Borussia Park
Greece

Germany will play their final warm-up match before the beginning of Euro 2024 on Friday night when they take on Greece at Borussia Park in Mönchengladbach.

The match is one final chance for Julian Nagelsmann to get his team playing like he wants them to before their Euro opener against Scotland the following week.

For Greece, the match is nothing more than an opportunity to play elite opposition ahead of World Cup qualifying later in the year. The Greeks lost out on a place at Euro 2024 after losing a play-off against Georgia.

How the bookies view it: A home win is expected

Germany will feel like they need to win this after drawing 0-0 with Ukraine earlier in the week and the bookmakers have full belief in them. They are priced as 2/7 favourites for this match while Greece are considered outsiders at 9/1. The draw can be had at 4/1.

Recent head-to-head: A good opponent for Germany

A cynic would say that the German Football Association have hand picked Greece as their final opponents before Euro 2024 due to the head-to-head record between the two nations. In nine previous encounters, Germany have won six and drawn three meaning they are unbeaten against the Greeks.

The most recent meeting came in the quarter-finals of Euro 2012. Germany ran out as 4-2 winners in a thrilling match that saw six different players get on the scoresheet.

Players to watch: Wirtz all the fuss about?

Most people across Europe will have heard about the performances of Florian Wirtz this season. After all, the Germany playmaker was the star man in a Bayer Leverkusen side hat won the Bundesliga without losing a single match.

If you've never watched Wirtz before, then this is the perfect opportunity to do so. To give a snapshot of what he is capable of, he scored 15 goals and provided 15 assists in all competitions during the 2023/24 season.

For Greece, the man to watch out for is Giorgos Masouras. The 31-year-old striker will come into the match on a high after winning the Europa Conference League with Olympiacos last week.

Predicted lineups

Germany will be back to full strength for this match with all Champions League finalists, including Toni Kross, Antonio Rudiger and Niclas Fullkrug, all available for selection after sitting out the draw with Ukraine. Greece are without some of their most recognisable names with both Kostas Tsmikas and George Baldock absent through injury.

Germany: Neuer – Kimmich, Tah, Rudiger, Mittelstadt – Gundogan, Kroos – Sane, Wirtz, Musiala – Havertz

Greece: Vlachodimos – Saliakas, Chatzidiakos, Mavropanos, Giannoulis – Kourbelis, Bakesetas, Mantalos- Tzolis, Masouras, Ioannidis

Anything else catch the eye?

Neither of these two teams have made a habit of being involved in high-scoring matches in recent times. Three of Germany's last four matches have seen fewer than three goals scored while the same can be said for four Greece's last six. Therefore, under 2.5 goals at 7/5 represents fantastic value.

When you look at Germany's victories since they parted ways with Hansi Flick last September, there is a common theme. In three of the four wins, they have led at half-time displaying that they are good front runners. Germany-Germany is priced at 5/6 for the clash with Greece.

This match between Germany and Greece will be played on Jun 7, 2024 and kick off at 19:45. Check below for our tipsters best Germany vs Greece prediction. You may also visit our dedicated betting previews section for the most up to date previews.
