On 27 September in Augsburg, Kourbelis scored the game\u2019s only goal on 74 minutes and Greece won in Germany for the first time in eleven meetings<\/a>. Seven days later the two sides meet again in Thessaloniki, with three points between them in the group: Greece on 7, Germany on 4.<\/p>\n

One late concession, nothing more<\/h2>\n

Greece come out of the October window unbeaten: two wins on the road, then Thursday\u2019s 2-2 at home to the Netherlands. That night, Ioannidis and Masouras had them two up before half-time; Van Dijk on 59 minutes and Reijnders on 89 pulled back a team that had defended for an hour. That late Dutch equaliser is the only point dropped all campaign. Tzolakis was decisive in Augsburg.<\/p>\n

The Greek attack reshuffles: Christos Tzolis, out with a muscle injury<\/a> against the Netherlands, has left the squad, and Dimitris Pelkas comes in as reinforcement. The official teamsheet settles it: Masouras does start in place of Tzolis, Pavlidis and Kourbelis both play on, and Karetsas stays on the bench. According to the Greek press, France\u2019s Cl\u00e9ment Turpin will take charge of the game.<\/p>\n

Klopp keeps his second wave<\/h2>\n

Against Serbia, J\u00fcrgen Klopp made seventeen changes from the Greece game and fielded nine uncapped players, Urbig in goal and Wirtz with the armband. The 2-0 (Bischof, Wirtz) was his first win as Germany coach, at the third attempt. The same core covers the return: this second wave plays Serbia then Greece back to back. The German press talks of \u201cmaking amends\u201d after Augsburg; Klopp himself wants the \u201cquick revenge\u201d. In goal, the projections gave Finn Dahmen; the official sheet stays loyal to Urbig, and Wirtz starts again.<\/p>\n

When nine players are new to international football together, the missing automatisms cost you: in the pressing, who jumps to the ball-carrier and who guards the second ball gets decided on the run. Germany found answers against Serbia; Greece will ask a different question.<\/p>\n
