Germany is set to face Hungary in their second group match of the European Championship, following an impressive 5-1 victory against Scotland. The match, which will be held at the Stuttgart Arena, is crucial for both teams. A win for Germany would almost certainly secure their place in the round of 16, while Hungary, having lost 1-3 to Switzerland, must win to stay in the race for qualification.
Germany's national coach, Julian Nagelsmann, has emphasized the importance of maintaining the team's performance level. 'We do not expect to shoot every opponent out of the stadium,' Nagelsmann said, highlighting the need for entertaining football that rewards the fans' support. Despite the opening victory, team captain Manuel Neuer and his experienced teammates, including Thomas Müller and Toni Kroos, are cautious and focused on the task ahead.
The German team has been warned about the challenges posed by Hungary, a team that has proven to be a tough opponent in recent encounters. Germany has not won in their last three matches against Hungary, and Nagelsmann described Hungary as 'a good transition team.' The presence of several Bundesliga professionals in the Hungarian team, such as Willi Orban and Péter Gulácsi, adds to the complexity of the match.
The match will be broadcast live on beIN SPORTS 1 at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 19. The commentary team will provide insights into the team compositions and analyze the players' performances.
