Hungary v Germany
📅
Kick Off: Tuesday 19th November at 19:45
🏆
Competition: UEFA Nations League
Germany round off what has been a spectacular Nations League Group A campaign with a clash in Budapest against Hungary. Neither side has anything on the line in this match, with the hosts’ guaranteed to finish in third while Julian Nagelsmann’s side will definitely finish top.
For Hungary, though, the aim will be to restore some pride after being battered 5-0 by the Germans back in September.
⭐ Hungary v Germany Best Bet
Sane has found game time difficult to come by this season, but this should fuel his prospect of playing against Hungary, having come off the bench against Bosnia to score at the weekend.
He has had at least one shot on target across his last six appearances for club and country, during which he has 3.71 shots on target per 90 – an astronomical figure. With his legs fresh, he will be able to trouble a Hungary defence that has conceded 29 shots on target across five games to date.

👕 Hungary v Germany Predicted XI
🔍 Hungary v Germany Players To Watch
🔴 Dominik Szoboszlai
The Hungary captain is their driving force offensively and averages 2.2 shots per 90 in the Nations League.
He has been pushed forward into a more advanced role in the last couple of internationals and has had three shots in each, with more of the same expected here. Liverpool won’t be too keen on Szoboszlai getting a big chunk of game time in this fixture, but he has played the duration of 20 of his last 21 international appearances, including friendlies.
🔴 Roland Sallai
Sallai sits second among Hungary’s players when it comes to committing fouls in the Nations League, having picked up 11. This equates to a rate of 2.62 per 90 minutes.
He has committed each of these fouls across the last three internationals, with 10 of these coming against the Netherlands.
Hungary are known to be aggressive off the ball, so look for the Galatasaray attacker to lead the way in this regard. He has at least one foul in each of his last seven appearances for club and country.
⚪ Jamal Musiala
Musiala is widely expected to start for Germany, and that spells trouble for Hungary given how he destroyed them in September. In that match, he scored with his only shot on target, and though he did not strike in the subsequent fixture against the Netherlands, he did have six efforts (none on target).
Having been withdrawn after an hour against Bosnia on Saturday – a game he scored in – Musiala should have the energy to once again torment Bosnia. He has had at least one shot on target in five of his last six starts for club and country.

💻 Hungary v Germany Form and Tactics
Hungary are a side that play a 3-4-3 formation. The last time they did not start in this system was a World Cup qualifier back in March 2021, so the players are well versed with the formation that head coach Marco Rossi favours.
Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai is very much to the fore of everything they do. He has been employed in a more advanced role in the past couple of internationals, featuring as an inside forward behind Barnabas Varga. The impact this has had on him has been clear: he has had three shots in each game and scored twice against Bosnia.
His impact offensively is crucial. Hungary have scored only three goals in the Nations League and have only once had more than 45% of the ball, meaning that efficiency is key.
Physicality is a key part of Hungary’s play, too. With 73 fouls at a rate of 14.6 per game shows that they are not afraid to be a team that gets stuck into their opponents. They rank ninth in the Nations League in this regard. Conversely, they have won only 49 fouls of their own.
Despite a high foul count, Hungary have only been shown seven cards, which at the time of writing is joint fourth-fewest.
Germany will line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation unless Nagelsmann decides to experiment wildly. Given the success of this system, it would be very surprising.
Die Mannschaft are the Nations League top scorers with 17 goals, while they lie second behind Group C’s Sweden in terms of shots on target per 90 with 7.2, and are fourth in terms of shots per 90 with 18.4.
This reveals a team that is relentlessly attacking, particularly against weaker opponents. Germany have enjoyed 60% or more of the ball in three of their five matches, including 73% possession twice against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
If the Bosnian’s felt the full wrath of Germany’s efficient attack on Saturday, Hungary have equally been under the German hammer as they lost 5-0 in Dusseldorf in September. On that occasion, Jamal Musiala ran rampant down the left, providing three assists.
Germany’s real strength, though, is the sheer depth of attacking power they boast. While no individual is boasting standout numbers, they have six players who have two or more goals + assists across their five matches, plus another eight who have chipped in at least one.
If Musiala and Florian Wirtz are the standout individuals, there is so much more threat to this team, which can threaten from almost any position.
