Germany Hosts Greece in Pivotal Euro 2024 Warm-up Match at Borussia-Park: A Preview of Die Mannschaft's Final Preparation Before the Big Tournament

Euro 2024 hosts Germany will play their last friendly match before the tournament as they welcome Greece to Borussia-Park in Mönchengladbach on Friday. Germany are drawn in Group A, where they clash with Scotland, Hungary, and Switzerland. While the contests look easier on paper than some of the other groups, the Germans would want some confidence in their game before heading into the tournament. They are coming off a 0-0 draw against Ukraine, a game in which Germany had 26 goal attempts. They would be keen to convert that into more goals in this match and extend a three-game unbeaten run where they won two and drawn one. That said, those two wins remain Germany’s only victories across their last six friendlies, meaning the home team won’t be unbreakable.


Greece would like to take advantage of that indifferent German form, as they look to assuage the hurt of missing out on a berth to the Euros. The Greeks finished third in Group B behind France and the Netherlands, but advanced to the play-offs by virtue of their Nations League showing. However, they fell agonizingly short of qualification, losing 4-2 on penalties to Georgia in the final of the play-offs. That defeat remains their lone loss across four matches, winning two and drawing one, but it came at the worst moment. They are now absent from the Euros for the third consecutive time, but they are unbeaten in regular time over their last four matches. Interestingly, they haven’t beaten Germany in nine prior matches, drawing three and losing six. It is highly unlikely that they could change that here, but the Greeks could fancy their chances of pushing Germany all the way.
