Klopp relies on continuity: only three changes to the starting line-up against Greece

In the second leg against Greece in the Nations League, Jürgen Klopp for the first time decided not to make many changes to the starting eleven of the national football team. There are three changes in the starting line-up in Lennart Karl, David Raum and Jonathan Burkardt in the evening (8.45 p.m./RTL) in Thessaloniki. In his fourth international match as national coach, Klopp does not feature a newcomer for the first time.

The 18-year-old Karl will be in the starting line-up for Serge Gnabry in his fourth international match this evening at the Toumba Stadium. Compared to the 2-0 win against Serbia, Frankfurt's Burkardt replaces Nick Woltemade in the center of the attack. Klopp leaves his defense almost unchanged. Only the Leipzig area comes into the team on the left wing for Maximilian Mittelstädt.

Midfield trio unchanged

As announced, the young Munich player Jonas Urbig is in goal for the second time. In addition to Raum, the defensive chain also includes Philipp Treu on the right and Malick Thiaw and Waldemar Anton in the center. Klopp is also relying on continuity in midfield, where the trio of Alexandar Pavlovic, Tom Bischof and substitute captain Florian Wirtz, who stood out against Serbia, starts.

The DFB team wants to take revenge for the surprising 0-1 loss against the Greeks exactly a week ago in Augsburg. The defeat means Klopp's team is only third with four points after half of the group stage in the UEFA competition behind Greece (7 points) and the Netherlands (5).
