Germany vs Greece Prediction & Betting Tips (7 June)

After a spell in March where the Germans soiled France in Lyon 0-2 and the Netherlands in the process 2-1, they worried again Monday evening in a friendly against the solid Ukrainian selection 0-0. We can never stress enough that the selection with the 4 stars on the jersey is expected around the corner this summer for the Euro which will take place in his country. Eliminated from Euro 2016 in the semi-final by the Blues, by the English during the last edition to date at the stage of the 1/8th finals then two early eliminations during the last two World Cups, it is clear that the Mannschaft has no room for error in this competition. From an overall point of view, Julian Nagelsmann's men have only won 4 of their last 14 TCC matches.

European Champion in 2004 against the very young Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal, Greece thought they would validate their ticket for the Euro by reaching the play-off final but ultimately deprived of dessert by the selection of Willy Sagnol, Georgia defeated after penalties. Just before this final, the Greeks had lynched Kazakhstan 5-0 and grabbed 1 point during the very last day of qualifying for the reception of the Blues 1-1. It has now been 3 successive editions of the European Championship that the Greeks have not played but their football is on the rise with in particular the coronation of Olympiakos in the Europa Conference League.

Julian Nagelsmann (coach) has decided to leave the Champions League finalists in the dust. In this case we note the absences of Hummels (78 caps), the ailing Süle (total overweight), the crack Brandt (3 goals in 47 caps), the living legend Reus and the stubborn Emre Can. Other surprises also with the non-calls of Bayern residents: Gnabry (often injured this season) and midfielder Gorekzka (14 goals in 57 caps). Lacking success in front of goal, Timo Werner (24 goals in 57 caps) was not invited to the competition. However, the group set up by the former coach of RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich remains very promising, notably with Sané (Bayern, 13 goals in 59 seasons), the future retiree Kroos (just European champion for the 6th once with Real Madrid), captain Gundogan (FC Barcelona) or even the feat of the year in Europe Wirtz (Leverkusen) who slammed his first pawn in the selection of a marvel against the Blues in March. Author of 11 goals in just 15 appearances for the selection, Fullkrüg (Dortmund) will probably have arrived after his lost final at Wembley against Real where he also hit Courtois' post.

We will not forget to mention Kimmich, Jonathan Tah, Rüdiger (European champion with the RMA) and Müller (semi-finalist of the Champions this season). There have been changes in the heart of this selection since boys present against Georgia in the play-off were not recalled like defenders Baldock (Panathinaikos, 12 sel), Tzavellas (Atromitos, 3 goals in 50 sel), the well-known Tsimikas (Liverpool), midfielder Zeca ( Panathinaikos, 34 caps) and the offensive Giakoumis (Atlanta United in MLS) and Chatzigiovanis (13 caps). On the other hand, to talk about the players present, let's talk about the prolific during qualifications Masouras (5 goals), Pavlidis (AZ, 6 goals in selection) or even the Celta Vigo striker Douvikas (15 caps). In the middle, the experienced Bakasetas (captain, 14 pawns in 65 caps), Mantalos (60 caps) and Bouchalakis (Hertha Berlin, 44 caps) are there. In the defensive sector we note the presence of Mavropanos (West Ham), Giannoulis (Norwich City) and Chatzidiakos (Cagliari).
