Greece and Germany played out a tense 0-0 draw at Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki on Sunday, a result that keeps Greece unbeaten against Die Mannschaft this season — and leaves Germany still chasing their first win of the Klopp era in competitive away games.

What happened

Germany dominated the ball (70% possession, 21 shots to Greece's 5) but couldn't break through. The closest they came was a disallowed Jonathan Burkardt goal around the 32nd minute, ruled out by VAR for a Tom Bischof handball in the buildup. Greece had the game's first big chance inside two minutes through Giorgos Masouras, whose header forced a strong save from Jonas Urbig, and Masouras missed a free header in the second half too. Germany's Elias Treu fired over from an unmarked position at the back post late on.

The match grew increasingly physical: three yellow cards apiece, with Greece coach Ivan Jovanovic also cautioned.

The betting recap

Every angle from the morning preview cashed: Under 2.5 goals ~2.15 (another low-margin game between these sides), Greece double chance (1X) ~2.00, and the draw ~3.90 — a full sweep for the value reads.

Group A2 standings

Netherlands and Greece sit level on 8 points at the top, with the Dutch ahead on the tiebreaker after their 2-2 head-to-head. Germany are third on 5 points, Serbia bottom on 0.

Greece are now unbeaten in this fixture twice this season — a historic campaign for Jovanovic's side continues.
