Germany meets Hungary in the second match of Euro 2024 to decide the next ticket. Below is the confrontation history between the two teams.

Germany and Hungary have been a match with many fates in many arenas in the past. In total, the two teams have faced each other 37 times and the statistics are very balanced: Germany won 13 times, while Hungary 12, the remaining 12 matches ended in a draw.

The duel in the 1954 World Cup final when Germany was crowned world champion for the first time with a 3-2 victory was an unforgettable milestone. Hungary at that time were very strong with the legendary Ferenc Puskas in the squad. It was this striker and Czibor who helped them lead 2-0 after 8 minutes. But Germany came back to win 3-2 thanks to Helmut Rahn’s double.

At Euro, the two teams only met once, which was the most recent tournament. After Adam Szalai put Hungary ahead in the first half, Germany increased the pressure in the second half with 2 goals from Kai Havertz and Leon Goretzka but ended with a 2-2 draw, enough for them to advance to the 1/8 round.

In the Nations League that followed, Germany failed to beat Hungary, drawing 1-1 away and losing 0-1 at home, with Szalai scoring the only goal.

In three previous matches between Germany and Hungary at a major international tournament, a total of 20 goals were scored. That’s an average of 6.7 goals per match and Hungary scored first in each of these matches.

The German team opened Euro 2024 in a perfect way and satisfied fans. Attractive attacking style of play with the participation of young talents like Wirtz and Musiala really transformed and easily conquered Scotland, creating a strong 5-1 victory. Surely Negelsmann and his team do not want to miss the opportunity to soon win tickets to the next round by continuing to defeat Hungary, even with a large gap thanks to their intact inspiration.

The home team will still maintain a strong lineup to quickly conquer Hungary. The stars who just shined in the opening match are therefore ready to have another jubilant performance, because it seems that Hungary is not their worthy opponent. In fact, Hungary was easily defeated by Switzerland due to its weak defense. Moreover, when the level difference with Germany is so obvious, it is difficult for them to create any surprises.
