After their outstanding start to Euro 2024, the hosts Germany go into their second game of the tournament against Hungary, and the meeting will be from 19:00 in Stuttgart, reported Sportal.bg.
Strange or not, but the statistics show that in the last three matches between the two teams, the Germans have not won. In 2022, Hungary triumphed 1-0 away in a Nations League encounter, with the teams previously drawing in the same tournament, and last time out in Europe, Germany narrowly escaped defeat by the Magyars in Munich to draw 2-2 with late goal by Leon Goretzka. So the Bundesstim definitely finds itself in trouble when facing Hungary.
Germany could hardly have hoped for a better start after showing an excellent performance and thrashing Scotland 5-1 in the opening game of the European finals. Apart from the result, the Germans also showed an impressive game, creating many chances and being aggressive throughout the match. According to the information, it is unlikely that Julian Nagelsmann will make changes to his starters and most likely the team will start with the same 11 that started in the resounding success over Scotland. The Germans are enjoying excellent form, with as many as 4 wins and a draw in their last five matches. If they win today, they will guarantee a place in the eliminations.
Hungary, on the other hand, started with a 1:3 loss against Switzerland, and a second defeat will almost certainly throw Marco Rossi's graduates out of the tournament. Unlike his colleague Nagelsman, the specialist will most likely make changes in his composition. A large number of Hungarian internationals play or have come through the Bundesliga, which should be a positive for the Magyars. The Hungarians have only lost two of their last 16 matches, but the worrying thing for them is that both defeats came within this month. We remind you that the Magyars qualified for Euro 2024 in a group with Serbia and the Bulgarian national team.
Probable lineups:
GERMANY (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Kimmich, Rüdiger, Ta, Mittelschet; Kroos, Andrich; Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz; Havertz
HUNGARY (3-4-2-1): Gulachi; Lang, Orban, A. Shalai; Bola, Nagy, Schafer, Kerkez; R. Shalai, Soboslai; Varga
