Sports Mole takes a look at Germany's quarter-final with Greece in Gdansk at Euro 2012.

The second quarter-final of Euro 2012 takes place on Friday as Germany take on Greece at the PGE Arena in Gdansk.

The much-fancied Germans won all three of their group games as they eased through to the last eight, while 2004 winners Greece caused a surprise once more as they progressed at the expense of Russia and co-hosts Poland.

Joachim Low will be able to welcome back Bastian Schweinsteiger following a hamstring problem and Jerome Boateng is back having served a one-match ban.

Meanwhile, Giorgos Fotaki is expected to come into the Greek midfield as captain Giorgios Karagounis is suspended after picking up a second yellow card against Russia.

Current form:

Germany: LLWWWW
Greece: DDWDLW

Possible lineups:

Germany: Neuer; Boateng, Hummels, Badstuber, Lahm; Khedira, Schweinsteiger; Muller, Ozil, Podolski; Gomez

Greece: Sifakis; Torosidis, A Papadopoulos, K Papadopoulos, Tzavelas; Katsouranis, Maniatis; Salpingidis, Fotakis, Samaras; Gekas

Sports Mole says: 3-0
