Germany have officially started their new era with Klopp in the dugout after the country drew 1-1 with Netherlands on Thursday, a game in which both teams produced several chances.
The head coach has already acknowledged that that performance was far from perfect, though few expected the head coach to fix all the problems plaguing the national team after one match.
Klopp has sought to reframe the perception of the German national team by reaffirming its importance to the footballing culture of the country more broadly.
He has already attended a number of training sessions at Bundesliga clubs, and he has stressed the importance of changing the mentality towards Die Mannschaft from both players and fans.
Kai Havertz limped off against Netherlands due to a hamstring injury, though Florian Wirtz has been called up to the squad for Sunday's game.
Greece deserve immense credit for coming back against Serbia on Thursday, who had taken a fourth-minute lead in their opening Nations League fixture.
Arsenal's Christos Tzolis equalised in the 74th minute, before Anastasios Douvikas netted a winner in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time.
The visitors come into the weekend's clash having never beaten Germany in 10 attempts, with Greece losing seven times, including when they lost 2-1 in June 2024.
Greece may field Charalampos Kostoulas and Vangelis Pavlidis in the forward line, supported by the likes of Tzolis.

Whispers predicts: Germany 3-1 Greece
The bookmakers heavily favour Germany, and they have priced a win for Klopp's side at 2/5 (1.4).
Greece have scored one or fewer goals in six of their last 10 games in all competitions, making a prediction of Under 1.5 Goals for Greece at 1/4 (1.25) the way to go.
Considering Germany have scored first in six of their last eight games, perhaps punters should bet Germany to Score First at 4/11 (1.36).
Greece and Germany have more often than not scored after the interval, so it would make sense to predict Both Teams to Score in the Second Half at 2/1 (3).
> Under 1.5 Goals for Greece at 1/4 (1.25) | Likelihood: Probable
> Germany to Score First at 4/11 (1.36) | Likelihood: Possible
> Both Teams to Score in the Second Half at 2/1 (3) | Likelihood: Outsider
