Germany vs Hungary Prediction & Betting Tips (7 September)

Not to their advantage during the last Nations League, Germany did not come far from relegation but ultimately retained its place in the elite thanks to its 3rd place ahead of England. Joshua Kimmich's teammates then hit rock bottom during the 2022 World Cup with elimination in the group stage. Automatically qualified for Euro 2024 as host country, they had a string of disappointing results during the friendly matches which replaced the qualifiers. This pushed the leaders to part ways, in September 2023, with coach Hansi Flick, replaced by Julian Nagelsmann. After a real return to form observed at the start of 2024, the Mannschaft confirmed this summer during the Euro. Attractive in the game, Germany dominated Switzerland, Hungary and Scotland in Group A before defeating Denmark in the 8th 2-0. Unfortunately, Julian Nagelsmann's men fell, without merit, against the future winner, Spain, in the quarter-final 1-2 after extra time.

A nice surprise from the previous Nations League, Hungary created the feat by finishing ahead of Germany and England to ensure its maintenance. The selection even almost qualified for the Final 4 but ultimately finished 2nd in the group with 1 point behind Italy. Absent from the 2022 World Cup, the Magyars then ensured their presence at Euro 2024 with their 1st place in qualifying, ahead of Serbia in particular. Unfortunately, they disappointed in Germany this summer. Hungary had to settle for 3rd place in Group A, ahead of Scotland but behind Germany and Switzerland.

After Euro 2024 several experienced players have decided to retire internationally or simply retire. This is the case of Neuer (Bayern Munich), Gündogan (Man City), Müller (Bayern Munich) and Kroos. In addition, defender Rüdiger (Real Madrid) and winger Sané (Bayern Munich) were not called up. Excellent with the selection this summer, attacking midfielders Musiala (Bayern Munich) and Wirtz (Leverkusen) now represent the present of the Mannschaft. Full-back Kimmich (Bayern Munich) is also present, as are influential attackers Havertz (Arsenal) and Füllkrug (West Ham). With Neuer's international retirement, Ter Stegen (Barcelona) finally takes on the role of starting goalkeeper.

Hungary must do without injured midfielder Kalmar (Fehervar). In addition, the coach decided to do without the services of replacement goalkeeper Szappanos (Al-Fateh), experienced defenders Lang (Omonia) and Fiola (Ujpest) and midfielders Kleinheisler (Panathinaikos) and Styles (West Bromwich Albion). The midfield captains Nagy (Spezia), Schäfer (Union Berlin) and Szoboszlai (Liverpool) are, however, present, as are goalkeeper Gulacsi (Leipzig) and defender Orban (Leipzig). In the offensive sector, Sallai (Fribourg) and the excellent leading player Varga (Ferencvaros) take their place.
