Hungary v Germany

Hungary vs Germany Preview

Hungary's ambitions of pressing home claims of achieving a possible top two finish in Group 3 were well and truly dashed when they were dealt a heavy 4-0 thrashing away from home at the hands of Netherlands, and although they hold home advantage at their Puskás Aréna on Tuesday night, the hosts now face a mountain to climb if they're to make it through to the last eight of this competition.

Not only do Hungary have to beat their upcoming visitors, Germany, but the Magyars have to do so in emphatic fashion as they need to win by a clear 14-goal margin against the Group 3 leaders along with needing the Dutch to lose away at bottom nation Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The more likely and realistic scenario is that Hungary need to do their best in this upcoming clash on Tuesday night but take their chances in the forthcoming relegation play-off if they are to maintain their League A status for the next edition of the Nations League.

Following an impressive 14-match unbeaten sequence on the international stage from mid-November 2022 through to towards the end of March this year, Hungary have stumbled in recent times, picking up just three wins in their subsequent 10 games overall whilst also slipping to five defeats in the process.

Germany extended their lead at the top of the Group 3 table to a five-point margin following a 7-0 thumping of hapless bottom nation Bosnia-Herzegovina over the weekend and the visitors will therefore be in confident mood as they make their way to Budapest for this upcoming encounter against Hungary.

Germany have produced an impressive Nations League campaign so far as they sit top of the Group 3 table having collected four wins and draw to date - three of these four wins have also seen Julian Nagelsmann's side keep clean sheets as well.

Victories against Hungary 5-0, away and home wins against Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2-1 and 7-0 scorelines along with a 1-0 home win against Netherlands have ensured Germany's progress through to the quarter-finals of this edition of the Nations League.

Whilst the Nations League competition is still viewed by many as a somewhat irrelevant tournament, it nevertheless gives previously struggling nations a chance to rebuild and a case in point is this Germany outfit who are once again finding their feet under Nagelsmann.

Hungary v Germany Verdict

Hungary have performed well on home soil as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 12 internationals but this record is expected to come under pressure with the visit of Germany on Tuesday night.

Germany have lost just once in their last seven meetings against Hungary and having won the last two encounters on the trot, the visitors look favourites to win with a clean sheet here.
