Germany take on the visitors Greece in a Friendly International match. The match will be played on Thursday, June 6th at Borussia-Park (Mönchengladbach).
Germany is marking the decade since their last major success this year, which was their World Cup victory. Yes, they also won the Confederations Cup in 2017, but Löw chose to compete in Russian stadiums with an experimental squad for that victory. Later, they shocked the world by not advancing from the group stage at the World Cup. This was repeated in Qatar under Flick. Despite these failures, Hansi remained in charge but was eventually sacked (a first in the history of this position) due to disappointing performances in last year's friendly matches. Even under Nagelsmann, things didn't immediately improve, as Germany lost to both Turkey and Austria. After reassessing the squad and moving away from many veterans, Julian achieved impressive victories in March against tough opponents, France and the Netherlands. They started the summer with a match against Ukraine. Germany clearly dominated but failed to capitalize on their chances, ending the game goalless.

Greece is not particularly focused on this tournament. The Hellenes last made a significant impact in Brazil in 2014, when they reached the playoffs for the first time in their history. However, they have since failed to qualify for any major tournaments. It was only under Gus Poyet that they showed improvement, confidently winning their group in the Nations League. Greece also performed well in the Euro qualifiers, but ultimately lost out to both France and the Netherlands, finishing third. In the spring playoffs, the blue and whites managed to crush Kazakhstan 5-0. However, it seems they should have saved at least one goal for the decisive match against another post-Soviet team, Georgia. Both regular and extra time ended goalless. In the penalty shootout, Bakasetas and Yakoumakis missed their chances against Mamardashvili, while only Mikautadze missed for the opposition.
There have been 8 matches between these teams, and Germany has never lost. Greece has managed three draws, but the last three encounters were won by the Mannschaft. The Mannschaft is expected to break through, especially since their current opponent is not as well-organized as Ukraine. We are betting on the home team to win with a handicap of -1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Germany to win with -1.5 handicap.
