Hungary Preview: Hungary for more
With relationist tactician Marco Rossi at the helm, Hungary have often punched above their weight and put in performances against leading sides that has helped them be viewed as a genuine threat to Europe’s elite.
They have won just one of their five games in the UEFA Nations League but have comfortably avoided automatic relegation to the second-tier. They were beaten 4-0 by the Netherlands at the Johann Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam the other day.
Germany Preview: Die Mannschaft’s new era
Julian Nagelsmann has had to deal with several key international retirements since the summer such as Manuel Neuer, Toni Kroos, Thomas Muller and Ilkay Gundogan but Die Mannschaft have reacted and evolved smoothly to dominate this group of the UEFA Nations League.
The four-time world champions annihilated Bosnia-Herzegovina by seven goals to nil at Europa-Park Stadion in Freiburg the other day with Tim Kleindienst and Florian Wirtz notching braces alongside goals from Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz and Leroy Sane.

Hungary vs Germany Prediction
Hungary will be expected to play on the front foot as they often do in Budapest and they tend to be difficult to beat, especially at home, as they were in a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands last month. They face a free-scoring Germany side currently romping their way through the UEFA Nations League and a high-scoring match up is to be expected with Germany the overwhelming favourites in the Hungarian capital.
