Greece VS Germany

Germany have struggled to find consistent form in recent competitive outings, notching only 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses across their last 6 matches. Their away performance has been particularly underwhelming: they have gone 6 straight road games without a win, with 3 draws and 3 losses, and 6 draws in their past 10 away fixtures leading to a dismal away win rate. Their defensive unit has clear vulnerabilities, as they conceded 3 goals on home soil against this very opponent in the first leg of the fixture. While their attack has posted solid numbers, averaging 1.6 goals per game in their last 5 competitive matches, the absence of key striker Cyril Dessers has significantly sapped their attacking threat. Worse still, the squad is hit by a long injury list. Apart from Dessers, defenders Raphael Fernandes and Dujon Sterling (out with an Achilles injury), as well as forward Rabbi Matondo who is recovering from knee surgery, are all ruled out, which has greatly undermined the team's quality in both the midfield and backline.
