Germany vs Greece

Germany were denied a win in their opener against the Netherlands as they conceded in the 92nd minute in a 1-1 draw. While avoiding defeat on the road in the top division of the Nations League is something that should be seen as a positive, the manner of this stalemate is hugely frustrating. Matches against Greece and Serbia will be seen entirely winnable both at home and away, and the Germans need to take all three points from this one. A run of three without a win is an issue, but Germany have won their last four against their opponents, and I back them to win this match despite failing to keep a clean sheet. 

Greece were very impressive in their opener against Serbia as they secured a 2-1 win away from home. Despite conceding in the fourth minute, Greece rallied in the second-half with goals in the 74th minute and 95th minute. Their refusal to settle for a point saw them rewarded, but they now face an opponent on another level in their second Nations League outing. Worrying for Greece is the fact their last four meetings have all ended in defeat. The last three have ended with both sides score, and while I back the travelling side to find the back of the net, I do not back them to win this one. 

Norway vs Portugal

Norway saw a two-goal lead count for little in their opening match against Denmark as they were pegged back at 2-2 after an hour. However, with Erling Haaland in the side, anything is possible. After putting Norway 2-0 up, Haaland hit the back of the net in the 74th minute to take all three points for his side in a 3-2 win. In what is a competitive group, beating Norway in their opener was crucial. Haaland has now scored in his last five matches for club and country and he will be keen to stamp his authority on the group with another goal, which is what I back him to do. 

Portugal may have found the back of the net after 22 minutes against Wales courtesy of Joao Felix, but they struggled to create clear-cut chances against a well-organised Welsh side. While Wales themselves did not create much, they kept themselves in the game and ensured Portugal were never able to run away with the win. While Portugal kept a clean sheet in their opener, they did not look completely secure at the back. With Haaland in fine form right now, I predict that the travelling side will be unable to keep the Manchester City forward out. 

Verdict

I am backing Germany to beat Greece despite failing to keep a clean sheet as Erling Haaland scores against Portugal.
