Continue reading to uncover our predictions and recommended tips for this game.

Germany vs Hungary Betting Tips

Germany got off to a shaky start after being defeated by France in both qualifying encounters. However, things seem to be looking up, as they recently beat them 2-0 in a friendly match and then went on to defeat the Netherlands 2-1. This recent shift in momentum, coupled with the support of the home crowd, makes them a slight favourite. Nonetheless, Hungary’s unbeaten streak in 14 games, coupled with their ability to find the back of the net, suggests they won’t be easy to overcome. Germany has shown defensive vulnerabilities, as evidenced by a 4-1 loss against Japan and a 2-0 defeat to Colombia. Therefore, a prudent bet might be to back both teams to score, taking into account both teams opposing threats as well as Germany’s defensive flaws. For higher odds, consider backing Germany to win and both teams to score. 

Germany vs Hungary Match Prediction

Germany, under the guidance of Julian Nagelsmann, will want to utilise young talents like Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz, who have been instrumental in pushing attacks forward. Toni Kroos, back from international retirement, might also make an appearance, adding further depth and experience to their squad. Expect Germany to dominate the game, pressing on the attack. Meanwhile, Hungary’s squad under coach Marco Rossi, holds firm and try to capitalise on set pieces and counterattacks. With that said, Germany is expected to dominate possession and create more scoring opportunities. On the other hand, Hungary boast a disciplined defensive set up and the ability to launch quick counterattacks. A draw would reflect Germany’s attacking prowess as well as Hungary’s solid defence and potent counterattacks, capable of exploiting the vulnerabilities in Germany’s defence. 

Germany vs Hungary Correct Score Tips & Prediction

As mentioned previously, Germany has a formidable offence capable of scoring goals against top teams. Their weakness falls with their defence, as they regularly concede goals, even against very low ranked teams. Therefore, Hungary should be able to find the net with world class players like Dominik Szoboszlai, known for his ability to both score and setup goals. Hungary is tough defensively but will likely struggle to contain the likes of Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala for the entirety of the game. Due to the likely game plans of both teams, we anticipate a match dominated by midfield play, with Germany passing the ball around while Hungary allows few opportunities for Germany to aim for the goal. However, both teams should manage to score at least one goal, so we predict a 1-1 scoreline.

Germany vs Hungary Over & Under Betting Tips

This match features a clash of styles that could counteract one another, with Germany’s attack being shut down by Hungary’s defence. Germany, spurred on by the home crowd, should push the pace of the game and try to break down Hungary’s defence. However, the defensive tactics under coach Marco Rossi, suggests they will be able to hold off most of Germany’s attacks, likely leading to a low scoring game. A bet on under 2.5 goals might be wise.
