Greece and Germany face off in a UEFA Nations League Group A2 match on October 4, 2026, at Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki, with kick-off at 20:45 CET. This is a rematch of their September 27 encounter, which Greece won 1–0 in Augsburg—a historic first victory for Greece over Germany. Greece currently leads the group with seven points from three matches (two wins, one draw), while Germany sits third with four points (one win, one draw, one loss) after recent appointment of Jürgen Klopp as coach.
Greece will be without Arsenal winger Christos Tzolis due to a hamstring injury sustained in their 2–2 draw against the Netherlands on October 1. Georgios Masouras is expected to replace him in the lineup. Greece will deploy a 4-2-2-2 formation with goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis, defenders Manolis Saliakas, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Konstantinos Koulierakis, and Kostas Tsimikas, midfielders Dimitris Kourbelis and Christos Zafeiris, attacking midfielders Alexandros Kyziridis and Georgios Masouras, and forwards Vangelis Pavlidis and Fotis Ioannidis.
Germany will field a 4-2-3-1 formation with Jonas Urbig in goal, a defensive line of Philipp Treu, Malick Thiaw, Waldemar Anton, and David Raum, midfielders Aleksandar Pavlović and Tom Bischof, attacking midfielders Lennart Karl, Florian Wirtz, and Derry Scherhant, and forward Jonathan Burkardt. Klopp's side drew 1–1 with the Netherlands on September 24 before defeating Serbia 2–0 on October 1. Germany's recent form shows the team working to build cohesion under the new manager, with Florian Wirtz identified as a key creative force.
Ivan Jovanović, Greece's coach, acknowledged Germany's quality in the rematch: "They're a 'new' German team, with different players than in the first game. They played well against Serbia and won easily. They're fresher than we are." Klopp stated that Greece's first-match victory was "well-deserved," citing their tactical discipline. Greece have never lost a match in this Nations League campaign, while Germany will be looking to capitalize on momentum from their Serbia win.
Official tickets are available through the Hellenic Football Federation portal, starting at €25 for general seating. Secondary market prices begin at €48 per seat.

Why This Matters
Greece and Germany compete in UEFA Nations League Group A2 standings with direct qualification and ranking implications for both teams. Greece's historic first-ever competitive victory over Germany (1–0, September 27) positions them at the top of the group with seven points; a second consecutive win would consolidate their advantage toward advancing from the group stage. Germany, now under Jürgen Klopp, trails with four points and must recover ground after their loss in the first fixture to remain viable for progression. The rematch directly affects playoff seeding and Nations League promotion/relegation outcomes for both nations' official FIFA ranking and tournament placement.
