Germany sits in third place of UEFA Nations League group table after two games
Germany currently sits in third place in their UEFA Nations League group after a disappointing loss to Greece and a draw. Despite statistical dominance in possession and shots, the team faces a difficult path to qualify with little margin for error.
Why it matters
The Nations League is a major international tournament, and Germany's poor start highlights the volatility of group-stage momentum in elite European football.
Germany's UEFA Nations League campaign has suddenly become a little more complicated after two matches, with the table showing just how costly the defeat to Greece has been.
Greece sits atop the group with six points from two matches and a +2 goal difference after opening the campaign with consecutive victories. The Netherlands is second with four points, while Germany is currently sitting in third place with just one point and a -1 goal difference. Serbia rounds out the table without a point from its first two matches.
