Hungary will take on Germany in a highly anticipated Nations League matchup on Tuesday, with both teams aiming for a strong performance.
Below is an analysis of their recent form, head-to-head history, and predictions for the upcoming game.
Hungary
Hungary heads into the game on the back of a 2-0 victory against Bosnia in their last Nations League outing. Despite holding only 34% possession, Hungary managed to create 12 attempts on goal, with Dominik Szoboszlai scoring both goals to secure the win.
Over their last six matches, Hungary has struggled offensively, managing just four goals while conceding eight. To stand a chance against Germany, Hungary will need to improve their finishing and maintain a more organized defense.
Germany
Germany arrives at this match after a narrow 1-0 victory over the Netherlands. In that game, Germany had 49% possession and produced 13 shots, five of which were on target. Jamie Leweling scored the decisive goal in the 64th minute.
Germany’s recent form has been strong in attack, netting 13 goals in their last six games and scoring in every match during this stretch. However, their defense has been less consistent, conceding five goals in the same period, which leaves room for improvement.
Head-to-Head Record
In their last six meetings since June 2016, Germany has emerged victorious three times, while Hungary has secured one win.
The remaining two games ended in draws. Across these encounters, 16 goals were scored—12 by Germany and four by Hungary—averaging 2.67 goals per match.
Their most recent meeting was on September 7, 2024, when Germany dominated Hungary with a comprehensive 5-0 win.
Germany controlled 57% possession and had 23 attempts on goal, with Niklas Füllkrug, Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, Aleksandar Pavlović, and Kai Havertz all finding the net. Hungary managed just one shot on target in that game.
Team News
Both Hungary and Germany have fully fit squads available for this match. Hungary’s manager Marco Rossi and Germany’s coach Julian Nagelsmann are expected to deploy their best players for this encounter.
Prediction
Hungary is likely to face significant challenges against a well-structured German side. While Hungary may find it difficult to break through Germany’s defense, a disciplined approach could keep the game competitive. However, Germany’s attacking depth and quality should give them the advantage.
A close contest is expected, with Germany predicted to secure a 1-0 victory. While the match is anticipated to be tight, experts suggest there may still be over 1.5 goals, offering moments of excitement throughout the game.
