Klopp's side produced their most emphatic display in a 7-1 demolition of Curacao at the World Cup, and followed that with a 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast. However, they were eliminated from the tournament after a 2-1 defeat to Ecuador and a 1-1 loss to Paraguay in the round of 16 stage. Across those five games Germany scored 13 goals and conceded six.
Greece have struggled for wins in recent months, taking just one win from their last five outings, drawing three and losing two. Their most recent match ended in a 0-1 defeat to Italy in a friendly, and they have kept just one clean sheet across the five games while scoring only three goals. Three of their last five results have been draws, including a goalless stalemate with both Hungary and Belarus.
