- Competition: UEFA Nations League
- Date: Tuesday, 19th, November 2024
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20.45 CET
- Venue: Puskas Arena (Budapest)
Germany will aim to wrap up their UEFA Nations League qualification campaign in style when they travel to the Puskas Arena to face Hungary on Tuesday evening.
Hungary’s aspirations to cap off their qualification campaign with a top-two finish and a maiden quarterfinal appearance were dashed during Saturday’s trip to Amsterdam, as they were overwhelmed by a rampant Dutch attack, conceding four goals with no response. An unfortunate setback did not jeopardize Marco Rossi’s squad’s position, as they remain four points clear of relegated Bosnia, but a third-place finish means that Nemzeti Tizenegy will have to navigate additional matches to preserve their status in League A.
The UEFA Nations League, in its six years of existence, witnessed a historic moment on Saturday at the Europa-Park in Freiburg, where a relentless Germany recorded the tournament’s largest victory to date by delivering a seven-goal demolition of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Thanks to the ruthless triumph, Julian Nagelsmann's flying boys have cemented their spot at the top of Group A3 and simultaneously ensured their first-ever entry into the knockout round of this UEFA's tournament, which will kick off in early June next year.
Hungary vs Germany Betting Tips: GERMANY TO WIN
Even though they are playing in front of their own fans, Hungary’s recent poor form, with only two wins from their last six matches, combined with a painful four-goal loss to the Netherlands in their latest outing, clearly shows they are going through a rough patch, making it seem like an impossible task to avoid failure in the group's finale. Additionally, the defensive unit of Nemzeti Tizenegy has shown to be their most vulnerable area, conceding ten goals in five qualification games, with Germany responsible for half of those goals when the two sides clashed on the opening day of the group phase.
Led by former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann, Germany appears to be reclaiming its position as the top European power, and their outstanding Nations League qualifying campaign, where they earned 13 out of 15 points with a 17-3 goal difference, is a clear sign they’ve rediscovered their championship mindset. With a confirmed spot in the quarterfinals as group winners, a few personnel change are expected, but even with a rotating lineup, the relentless Die Mannschaft should have no trouble wrapping up their exceptional qualification campaign in grand style.

Hungary team news
Zsolt Nagy will once again take on the role of left-back, as first-choice Milos Kerkez was forced to withdraw from international duty for the remaining UNL qualifiers due to an injury sustained just before the national team gathering.
Ujpest defender Attila Fiola was unavailable for selection in the fifth-round clash against the Netherlands, but the 34-year-old is expected to bolster Hungary's defensive line after serving a one-match suspension for accumulating yellow cards.

Germany team news
With top spot already secured and a ticket to the tournament finals booked, coach Julian Nagelsmann might rotate the squad, giving opportunities to reserves, but Tim Kleindienst, who starred with a brace against Bosnia, is expected to keep his place as the central striker.
Despite being substituted in the 73rd minute against Bosnia, Joshua Kimmich has been cleared of any injury following tests, though it's highly likely he won’t be risked with Group A3 already decided.
