Their last meeting came back in March 2001, when Germany defeated the Greeks 4-2 in a World Cup qualifier.

Greece's only previous match against (West) Germany at a European Championship was back in 1980, when they drew 0-0 in the group stages.

On the three occasions that either Germany (2) or Greece (1) have reached the quarter-final stage of a European Championship (this round was introduced in 1996), they have gone on to reach the final.

Germany have progressed to the semi-finals on five on the last six occasions that they have contested a quarter-final match at a major international tournament.

Germany have won their last 14 competitive games - an all-time record in DFB history.

Germany won all three of their group matches. Only two of the eight teams to previously win all of their European Championship group games have gone onto win the tournament (France in 1984 and Spain in 2008).

Germany have scored in each of their last 19 games, their longest run since 1989-1991 (20 games).

None of Greece's last ten goals at the European Championship have arrived before the 42nd minute.

Greece have attempted only 17 shots (excluding those blocked) in their three games at Euro 2012 so far, one every 16 minutes on average and the fewest of all sides to have qualified for the knockout stages.
