Betting Tips: Germany vs Hungary
Top match in the Nations League.
A top match in the Nations League is set as Germany, a quarterfinalist from this summer’s European Championship, hosts Hungary in Düsseldorf.
After several years of widespread dissatisfaction among the German population, Die Mannschaft enjoyed a much-needed upswing when they hosted this summer’s European Championship, despite a quarterfinal exit against Spain. Until it ended in extra time, Germany played fantastic attacking football, and with young, rising stars like Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz, the Germans once again have a national team to be proud of.
Hungary on the rise
Germany was knocked out in the quarterfinals, but the story could easily have been different. A very even battle with Spain was decided by a header from Mikel Merino in the 119th minute, and we all know the history with Germany and penalty shootouts when it gets to that point. Julian Nagelsmann’s team had a 3-1-0 record in the previous European Championship matches, including a crushing 5-1 win in the opening game.
Hungary entered the European Championship with ambitions but was disappointed with a group stage exit after losing their first two games to Switzerland and Germany. In their third and final group stage match against Scotland, they won 1-0, but it wasn’t enough to avoid elimination. Hungary has become an increasingly prominent football nation in recent years but is somewhat dependent on Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai having a good day. The midfielder had a disappointing spring season, but under Arne Slot, the 23-year-old seems to have regained his old form at Merseyside.
Betting Tips
Germany won comfortably 2-0 when the teams met in the group stage of the European Championship, but we still find this match much more open than the home odds suggest. Many of Hungary’s key players appeared tired during the European Championship, but they have benefited from a break. Germany will win in the end, but by no more than one goal, and after Hungary has caused some trouble, we believe. Therefore we have added the opportunity for Hungary to win by one goal as well.
