Germany vs Hungary Prediction: Germany to win

Germany's goal on Wednesday 19th June 2024 at 19:00 (GMT+3) at Stuttgart Arena against Hungary in the UEFA European Championship group stage will be to continue their unbeaten start. Germany defeated Scotland 5-1 in round 1 of Euro 2024 group round match. The winning team scored five goals. In their past five games in all competitions, they have not lost. In their first group stage match of the Euro 2024, Hungary lost 3-1 to Switzerland in Cologne Stadium on June 15. In the defeat, 

Hungary is in third position in the group with 0 points, while Germany leads the group with three. Switzerland, meanwhile, has three points and is in second place. Scotland is in fourth place with no points.

Hungary defeated the opposition 1-0 in Leipzig Stadium in September 2022 in a UEFA Nations League league match. This was the teams' previous meeting. Germany has recently suffered defeats against Hungary, who have won their last three games. In their last meeting with the other nation since June 2016, Germany is trying for their first victory. Germany had been outscored 4-3 by the Hungarian team throughout their winning run. Hungary has scored in all twelve of their previous games in all competitions.

Hungary has scored in all twelve of their previous games in all competitions. Since their June 2023 match against Montenegro in the European Championship Qualifiers, they have scored in all but one of their games.

In their previous six games across all categories, Germany has won four, tied one, and lost one. In the six games, the German team won two and lost five, scoring first in both. While their opponents scored three goals in the first forty-five minutes, they had five goals in the first half. In their last six games, Hungary has won four and lost two. During that time, the Hungarian team scored 11 goals and gave up six, scoring first in three of the six. scored four goals prior to halftime.

Germany created tournament history by defeating a poor Scotland team in the opening match of the European Championships, setting a record for the largest opening win in men's competition history. That was only one of an incredible seven records broken by Nagelsmann's ruthless team, who had Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala, two 21-year-old sensations, to thank for their early lead. Kai Havertz then scored from the spot following Ryan Porteous' awful tackle of Ilkay Gundogan.

While Antonio Rudiger's own goal extended Germany's record of 13 games without a clean sheet at major championships, two thunderous goals from Niclas Fullkrug and Emre Can either side of the unfortunate Real Madrid player's contribution saved his blushes and ignited Munich madness.

Germany's top-two finish will be assured if they win on Wednesday night, as even if Scotland shock Switzerland, they won't be able to overtake Die Mannschaft due to their inferior head-to-head record. Germany has earned their spot at the top of Group A, ahead of the Swiss on goal differential.

Despite having a poor start to Nagelsmann's tenure, the hosts of Euro 2024 are currently riding high on the back of a five-game winning streak, four of which have resulted in victories, and they have all the drive needed to secure a top-two finish against one of their recent rivals.

Less than three years have passed since Hungary battled to a 2-2 draw with Germany in the Euro 2020 group stage. Later, in the most recent Nations League, Marco Rossi led his team to a thrilling 1-0 victory in September 2022, earning Hungary four points from Die Mannschaft.

With the game's lone goal and his last for the national team before retiring, Adam Szalai was the hero of the moment on that particular day, but Hungary could have used his talisman up front during their futile battle with Switzerland over the weekend.

Rossi's team only leads Scotland on goal difference and is currently ranked third in the preliminary Group A standings, which might be enough for a knockout spot depending on performance. As such, their hopes of finishing in the top two could be dashed this week in Stuttgart.

Although Hungary's loss to Switzerland was only their second in their previous 17 games across all competitions—both losses occurred this month—a 12-match scoring stretch should provide the slightest solace to the Magyar supporters.

Rossi's team finally came to life as Hungary's match against Switzerland went on, but the damage had already been done. They were a scary possibility from crosses, which is where Scotland took their solace on Friday.

Even though the hosts have not won this head-to-head recently, Nagelsmann's team should easily win and punch their ticket to the knockout round. The prolific German attacking forces could be expected to overwhelm the Magyars.

These two teams have played four times in the previous few seasons. Germany has won one match out of the last four matchups, while Hungary has won one. There have been two draws between them in their games. Germany 2 - 0 Hungary was the final score of the last meeting. Hungary is playing well away from home, but Germany is doing excellent at home.

Germany and Hungary have averaged 2.25 goals per match in the past, with BTTS occurring 50% of the time.
