GER vs HUN Match Preview
The perfect start in all senses, Germany started their Euro 2024 campaign by recording their biggest-ever win in the tournament and a record opening day victory in the men’s competition history. Setting the record of being the youngest goal scorers for their nation in Euros, Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala along with Kai Havertz, Niclas Fullkrug and Emre Can helped the side thrash Scotland 5-1 in Munich with Antonio Rudiger's own goal not dampening the celebrations. Germany’s stylish performance extended their unbeaten streak to five matches, of which four are wins, with three more points almost guaranteeing them a spot in the last 16. Die Mannschaft played a thrilling 2-2 draw against Hungary in the previous Euros although their second Group A game is unlikely to replicate that. However, Germany has been winless in this fixture in the last three meetings so they need to be careful of not being complacent on Wednesday.
Hungary’s recent track record against the Germans is impressive with a win and a draw in the 2022 Nations League in addition to their result in the Euros two years ago. Despite that, Marco Rossi’s team will not enter the clash in a good mood after losing their tournament opener against Switzerland 3-1. The top scorer for the Magyars in qualifying, Barnabas Varga reduced the deficit to 2-1 after a shoddy first half but his side failed to mount a comeback. Hungary is left to do a lot to stay in the competition although they remain in third place due to a better goal difference than Scotland. With the Tartan Army to face in the final group game, only a victory could keep them intact in the last-16 race while a defeat would surely end their journey. A draw will leave them looking for other results to favour them eventually. Dominik Szoboszlai became the youngest captain at the age of 23 marking the occasion with an assist and is wanting for something more in Stuttgart.
