Germany v Hungary - Preview and Predictions

Three talking points

  1. Can Germany end winless run?

    Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann is under pressure. He's won only one of his first five matches.

    Germany fans expect a win after defeats to Italy, England and Hungary in their last three matches.

  2. How will Hungary cope without Dominik Szoboszlai?

    The RB Leipzig midfielder was Hungary's best player at Euro 2020.

    Szoboszlai could miss the rest of the year with a thigh injury.

  3. Can England take advantage of Germany's poor form?

    England face Italy on Saturday in the other Nations League Group 3 match.

    A win for England in Milan and a Germany defeat in Budapest would see Gareth Southgate's side top the group.

Prediction

Germany are the favourites to win, but Hungary are a dangerous team and will be confident after beating England in June.

I predict a 2-1 win for Germany.
