Germany take on Hungary in the round 2 match of UEFA Euro-2024 group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 19th at MHPArena (Stuttgart).
Germany is celebrating an anniversary: 10 years ago, they regained the championship title. However, after that triumphant World Cup, they had two disastrous tournaments: in both 2018 and 2022, they failed to advance from the group stage. Flick was already working with them in Qatar, but he was not dismissed at that time, only later following last year’s failures in friendly matches. Before “Hansi,” no national team coaches had ever been dismissed in Germany. But even under Nagelsmann, his charges played really well in March, defeating both France and the Netherlands consecutively. Before the home Euro, there was only a scoreless draw with Ukraine, and they beat Greece in a come-from-behind victory thanks to a goal in the 89th minute. In the opening match against Scotland, they not only confidently won but completely demolished their opponent with a 5-1 scoreline. Notably, Rüdiger scored an own goal for Neuer!

Hungary showed significant potential in this cycle. The "Magyars" traditionally did not qualify for the World Cup—this time, they lost in the playoffs. But in the Nations League, trying for the first time to play at the Division A level, they nearly won their group. In last year’s qualifiers, Rossi’s side solidly won their group, defeating the nominal favorite, Serbia, twice. Even in friendly matches, they mostly had winning outcomes, though there was an unpleasant exception when they lost to Ireland 1-2 in Dublin, with the decisive goal coming in added time. At the championship itself, playing against the more experienced Swiss, they conceded twice before halftime. In the second half, they made some spirited attempts to bring back the intrigue, scored a goal, and could have added more, but ultimately lost 1-3 due to a terrible blunder by Orban leading to Embolo’s goal.
The teams have been playing against each other for a long time and quite regularly: they have now reached a total of 10 head-to-head matches. With their win in the 2022 Nations League, the Hungarians have equaled the number of victories with their prestigious opponents. The Germans are strong and should achieve another convincing victory. We are betting on them to win with a “-1.5 goals” handicap.
Prediction for the match: Germany to win with -1.5 handicap.
