Germany, under new coach Jürgen Klopp, face Greece in the second match of Group 2 (Liga A) of the UEFA Nations League after their 1-1 debut against the Netherlands in Amsterdam. The famous match against Greece is scheduled at the WWK Arena in Augsburg, 20:45 (transmission on DAZN), and one of the biggest changes in Germany's lineup is the addition of Alexander Nübel to the goalkeeper post. On Thursday, Klopp chose Marc-André ter Stegen as the first keeper against the 'Oranje', but the manager confirmed on Saturday that in the match against the Greeks Alexander Nübel (Besiktas) will sit between the posts. Germany has laid out the following lineup for the match: Germany: Nübel; Treu, Tah, Bisseck, Brown; Kimmich; Felix Nmecha, Amiri; Adeyemi, Schade; Ebnoutalib Coach: Jürgen Klopp Meanwhile, Greece led by Ivan Jovanovic also opened strongly. Here is their lineup as announced: Greece: Tzolakis; Vagiannidis, Mavropanos, Koulierakis, Tsimikas; Zafeiris, Kourbelis; Karetsas, Kostoulas, Tzolis; Pavlidis Coach: Ivan Jovanovic Klopp rose to the defense of Ter Stegen in his pre-match remarks: "I was very pleased with Ter Stegen's performance. In a match where he is said to have saved us, there is rarely any criticism. It's true that he didn't play the ball the way we wanted on the two occasions when we had the ball — that happens. But I don't question him." The coach also clarified that the decision to run Nübel was not a direct result of the performance against the Netherlands, and emphasized the intention of rotation in the goalkeeper position. According to the report, Klopp will field a different goalkeeper in each of Germany's four appearances in the Nations League: Jonas Urbig and Noah Atubolu will serve as starters in one of the matches — one against Serbia on Thursday and the other against Greece on Greek soil on Sunday, October 4. It's not just a matter of tactics — high interest in Klopp's debut was noticed: 10.63 million viewers on RTL tuned in for the first game, higher than the 8 million recorded in Julian Nagelsmann's debut against the United States. Greece are currently top of Group A2 after they tempted Serbia in Belgrade and recovered to win 2-1 — a comeback with goals from Christos Tzolis and Anastasios Douvikas. Arsenal's new signing Tzolis has enjoyed a strong start to the season and has four assists this campaign; Douvikas is a former Celta player and currently plays for Como. Faced with a new challenge, Germany will be hoping to maintain the momentum and fine-tune the team's management in the first series of international competitions: a tough but timely test for Klopp and his new selection. Official referee details: Chris Kavanagh (England).

What's next

After the match, Germany will be expected to try to recover and get points to maintain their chances of promotion to the next round of the Nations League. Alexander Nübel's performance as the new goalkeeper will be tested, and the next matches will be important for their development of team chemistry. Greece, on the other hand, will continue their good run, hoping to maintain the momentum in their next match in the competition.
