Germany and Hungary meet on June 19, 2024, with the home team being a major favorite. The game takes place at MHPArena in Stuttgart, and anything but an easy win for Germany would be a major surprise.
Germany vs Hungary: Initial situation
Germany has made a statement with its opening win against Scotland. They scored five goals in front of the home fans, and head coach Julian Nagelsmann can be very happy with what he saw from his players. Germany looks like a real contender and can get really close to winning the group on the second matchday against Hungary. The Magyars had a tough opening game against Switzerland and are in a very difficult situation going into the game against the host nation.
Germany Stats & Form
It is a fact that Germany is not on the same level as they were a decade ago, but this new generation looks ready to get the team back on track. They were all hyped up in the opening game against Scotland, and even though we could all expect that Germany would have no problem beating Scotland, seeing them score five goals in the opener is very impressive. Multiple players on the German squad showed their talent and readiness to go deep in the tournament. Germany has won four of their last five games, and only Ukraine left the field undefeated in a friendly game, while Greece, the Netherlands, and France were defeated. Germany scored at least two goals in each of their last four wins, which shows the efficiency of this team.
Hungary Stats & Form
For the third consecutive time, Hungary was able to qualify for EURO but they will have a tough time advancing to the next round, something they failed to do in their previous two attempts. Hungary had no chance in the opening game against Switzerland losing by 3-1 while allowing a goal in the stoppage time of both halftimes. That was only the second loss in the last ten games for Hungary who won their group in the qualifiers. Hungary has scored a goal in each of the last 12 games and it will be interesting to see if they can keep that streak alive against Germany.

Betting tip and prediction: Germany vs Hungary (19.06.2024)
Germany had an excellent start to the tournament, beating Scotland 5-1. Coach Nagelsmann could not even wish for a better opening of the competition, as Germany did not win only three points, but multiple players scored and boosted their confidence. Germany dominated the pitch throughout the entire game, and Hungary will have a problem getting the ball even if they fall behind. Hungary stood no chance against Switzerland, allowing the first goal very early in the game. Their defense could not slow down the Swiss strikers, and Germany will be even tougher to defend.
Germany is a team that wants to dominate possession, and Hungary will have no chance of keeping the ball in their possession. Germany can make it through to the next stage of the tournament with another win, and they will definitely take advantage of the opportunity. Hungary will have nothing to lose and will have to play more aggressively than usual. That will open the field for Germany, which can outrun any team in the world. Germany will score early, just like they did in the opening game against Scotland, and will continue their scoring spree, which will eventually lead to a win covering the -1.5-goal spread.
