Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Germany vs. Hungary at EURO 2024
The Germans opened the championship in the best possible way, beating Scotland and boosting the morale. They now have a slightly tougher challenge, with the wounded Hungary coming their way. Three points are a must for Szoboszlai and the guys; otherwise, reaching the knockout stage would be very difficult.
Germany
This was Die Mannschaft as we remember it from the past. Five goals, plenty of chances, and 90 minutes of constant pressure and attack. Yes, Scotland isn’t a high-caliber team, but beating any team at EURO like that needs to be credited.
Germany’s win on Friday night was the fourth in the last five events, and in all of them, they scored at least twice. Remember that the triumphs were over France, the Netherlands, Greece, and now Scotland, a solid bunch of teams we need to add.
With Julian Nagelsmann in the driving seat, don’t expect anything to change. He knows the unit’s mentality and the majority of the players. The former Bayern Munich manager copied and pasted the Bavarians’ tactics and approach onto the national team, and that gave the result.
Hungary
The Magyars were solid against Switzerland, particularly in the second half, but the deficit was too high for them to come back. This was the second loss in the past three events, and we need to remind you that they had 14 in a row without a failure before this cold stretch.
The efficiency of their matches is high, and only two of the previous nine haven’t ended with three or more goals. When it comes to both teams scoring that happened in eight of 11 latest encounters.
The Hungarians are in a difficult position here, under pressure not to lose this match, which will be very challenging knowing that Germany has a massive swing following the first event.
Germany: Neuer; Kimmich, Tah, Rudiger, Mittelstadt; Kroos, Andrich; Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz; Havertz
Hungary: Gulacsi; Lang, Orban, Szalai; Nego, A. Nagy, Schafer, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Sallai; Vargas
What is a big morale booster for Hungary is that they defeated Die Mannschaft in their last clash, which was in Germany two years ago, 0-1. The game before that was a tie, 1-1 in Budapest, and both events were in the UEFA Nations League.
Germans won’t change their tactics for one bit, which guarantees an offensive and aggressive approach coming from their side. Meanwhile, Hungary likes to play fast and modern football, and the high efficiency of their events shows that. Therefore we pick over 2.5 goals for this one.
Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
