BVB fans, ahoy! We have another exciting face-off betwen our players tonight as Germany take on Greece in match where Felix Nmecha and Nico Schlotterbeck will come up against their new teammate, Konstantinos Karetsas.
Although German coach Jurgen Klopp is expected to make a few changes to his lineup from the one that started against the Netherlands in his debut game on Wednesday, Nmecha and Schlotterbeck are likely to start for Die Mannschaft once more.
Nmecha scored the first goal of the Klopp era, thumping it home from close range after former BVB player Karim Adeyemi backheeled a pass into his path, while Schlotterbeck turned in a resounding defensive performance.
The Dortmund stars came up against their teammate Joey Veerman, one of the seven new acquisitions this summer, after the midfielder was subbed into the second period of the match and bolstered the Oranje with his playmaking skills that built momentum which eventually helped them find a late equalizer.
With Germany now returning home for matchday two of their Nations League campaign, Nmecha and Schlotterbeck gear up to face another new teammate of theirs, Konstantinos Karetsas. The Greek starlet played in their 2-1 comeback win over Serbia, fueling their attacking charge with a bright first half display.
Tonight, against a more talented opposition, his offensive maneuvers will be crucial once more, and it will be interesting to see him go up against Nmecha for control in midfield and the more forward he gets, the more the likelihood of his paths crossing with Schlotterbeck too.
The familiarity between these players makes their tactical battle more interesting and worth looking forward to. And no matter who comes out on top, the BVB fans will have surely been served a treat here.

Germany's probable XI: Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Phillip Treu, Jonathan Tah, Nico Schlotterbeck, Nathaniel Brown; Felix Nmecha, Joshua Kimmich, Karim Adeyemi, Florian Wirtz, Kevin Schade, Jonathan Burkhardt.

Germany vs Greece Prediction
As much talented as this Greek side is, Germany are the favorites here. Sure, the former world champions are currently in a phase of transition under a new manager and a rotating squad and will need some time to find their rhythm, but have enough talents in their arsenal to see off the Hellic nation.
Prediction: Germany 2-1 Greece
