Team News

Germany

Germany won the tournament opener by a 5-1 scoreline against a struggling Scotland team. Julian Nagelsmann is expected to start the same eleven against Hungary who are coming after delivering a poor performance against Switzerland. Kai Havertz scored from the spot in the last game and not only that but he did deliver a brilliant performance. 

Manuel Neuer didn't have to do something against Scotland but he may face some challenges against Hungary as they would be desperate to get something from this match. Joshua Kimmich, Tah, Rudiger, and Mittelstadt are all set to start at the backline and they delivered a good performance in the last match.

Toni Kroos delivered a fantastic performance against Scotland. The 34-year-old completed 101 out of 102 passes which is just unbelievable. He is playing the last tournament of his footballing career and it is not looking like he has lost any of his touches yet. Andrich will play as a CDM with Ilkay Gundogan playing the role of a number 8. Florian Wirtz opened the scoring in the last game and then Jamal Musiala doubled the lead, scoring a stunning goal. They will surely start behind Kai Havertz. 

Niclas Füllkrug scored a fantastic goal after coming off the bench and he has been a great player for both Dortmund and Germany lately. Emre Can also scored a goal after coming off the bench so Nagelsmann has too many options. Leroy Sane didn't have a good outing in the Allianz Arena and he will be looking to improve after that poor performance.

Hungary

Hungary played a 5-2-2-1 formation against Switzerland and are likely to use that again, opting for a back five to limit the attacking spaces for Germany to exploit. Gulacsi is set to start at the goal line and he delivered a brilliant performance against Switzerland in the opener. He did concede 3 goals but that was down to the defenders who had a very poor outing. Hungary don't have too many options so Lang, Orban, and Szalai are set to start at the back.

🗣️: "Teljesen más csapat voltunk az első félidőben, mint a másodikban. Sok volt a hiba, nem mehetünk úgy bele egy mérkőzésbe, hogy azt hisszük, ajándékba adják a három pontot. Nem szabad búslakodnunk, innen szép nyerni."#csakegyutt #magyarok #HUNSUI #euro2024 pic.twitter.com/L2ge6H5HC4

Fiola and Kerkez started as wingbacks in the last game and Kerkez had a relatively good game. He knows how to operate in those areas, how to win those tactical fouls. Naggy and Schafer will form a double pivot with Szoboszlai playing as a no 10 alongside Sallai. Varga scored a goal against Switzerland so he will start upfront for Marco Rossi's side.

Marco Rossi said that his team made lots of mistakes at the back which cost them. So, he will be hoping his team improves this time but they are up against a confident and star-studded German team.
