Still seeking their first win in Group A3 of the UEFA Nations League, Germany travel to Hungary for their third fixture in the competition. Despite their poor start, the Germans boast the superior quality which is likely to give them the edge.
Despite being considered the weakest team in Group A3, Hungary have surprisingly gotten a win under their belt. They began their UNL campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over England with Dominik Szoboszlai getting the goal.
The Hungarians failed to build on that result as they followed it up with a 2-1 defeat to European champions Italy. Marco Rossi's men remain second in the group and now face a difficult task against Germany.
Hungary have picked up three wins and as many defeats from their last eight matches across all competitions.
Germany were among the first teams to qualify for the 2022 World Cup but have found things difficult since booking their place in Qatar. They have drawn their opening two fixtures in the UNL, playing out 1-1 scorelines with Italy and England.
The draw with England will be particularly disappointing to manager Hansi Flick as they led for a long period before conceding the equaliser. The key thing for the Germans is that they are still unbeaten in the competition, extending their recent run to eight wins and three draws from their last 11 matches.
Germany also have a fine record on their travels and head to Hungary unbeaten in their last six away matches. They have claimed four wins in that run, including back-to-back 4-0 victories over Iceland and North Macedonia.
How the bookies view it
Despite their poor start to the UNL, Germany are still considered overwhelming favourites among the bookies at 3/7 with SBK. Hungary are outsiders at home and are priced at 41/5 by SBK while BoyleSports is offering odds of 7/2 for a draw.
Head to head
Germany have a 4-2 advantage with two draws from eight previous matches against Hungary. Both teams played out a 2-2 draw in last year’s European Championships.
Players to watch
Adam Szalai often leads the line for Hungary and will be the one to watch on Saturday. The striker scored the opener the last time the Hungarians faced Germany and is priced at 4/1 by bet365 to once again find the net.
Kai Havertz could be worth keeping an eye on for Germany having scored three goals in his last six international appearances. The attacker was also on target in the last meeting with Hungary and is priced at 8/5 by bet365 to find the net on Saturday.
Anything else catch the eye?
Hungary and Germany have plenty of attacking quality and produced over 3.5 goals in their last meeting. A similar outcome is priced at 43/20 by Unibet, who are also offering 4/5 for over 2.5 goals while both teams could be backed to score at 11/10 by SBK.
Given the minimal odds for a straight Germany victory, a win and over 2.5 goals can be considered for more value at 6/5 with bet365.
