Germany and Greece meet in the UEFA Nations League tonight at Olympiastadion Berlin, with both sides' most recent matches ending in the same scorelines, 1-1 and 2-1, but their paths there were clearly different. Germany came through their World Cup campaign without a win in three straight matches (1-1 draws in their last two), yet they still clearly dominated possession over their opponents in almost every game. Greece, meanwhile, had just returned to winning ways with a 2-1 result in their latest Nations League match, after going without a win away from home for several matches in a row before that. According to the expected lineups, Germany are likely to field Kai Havertz as the lone striker, with Karim Adeyemi and Kevin Schade driving the play from the flanks, while Greece are expected to line up in a 4-4-2 with Vangelis Pavlidis and Charalampos Kostoulas paired up top. If Germany score first from a spell of sustained pressure, Greece, defending in a two-striker setup, may have to drop their defensive line even deeper and let the hosts push forward at will throughout the second half, which puts the onus on Greece's defence to withstand the hosts' waves of attack for as long as possible.
