In the second group match of the European Championships, the German national team, led by national coach Julian Nagelsmann, will face Hungary. Nagelsmann has already confirmed that there will be no changes to the starting eleven that secured a 5-1 victory against Scotland.
Julian Nagelsmann emphasized the importance of maintaining a consistent line-up, citing the impressive performance against Scotland as a key reason. Captain İlkay Gündoğan, who was fouled in the opening game but continued to play, will lead the team onto the field.
Despite their strong start, Germany should not underestimate Hungary. Historically, the Hungarian team has proven to be a tough opponent for the Germans. In their recent encounters, Hungary managed a 1-1 draw and a 1-0 victory in the Nations League, and a 2-2 draw in the 2021 European Championship.
The Hungarian team, led by Liverpool player Dominik Szoboszlai, must win to keep their hopes of advancing alive after a 1-3 defeat against Switzerland. They had a strong qualifying phase, finishing first ahead of Serbia.
Key players like Leroy Sané, who came on as a substitute against Scotland, and Niclas Füllkrug, who scored shortly after being substituted, are expected to start on the bench again. Nagelsmann's strategy seems to favor maintaining the successful line-up from the previous match.
The match will be broadcast live on beIN Sports 1 and can also be followed with live commentary on leparisien.fr. With a win, Germany would secure a spot in the round of 16, a crucial step after their early exit in the 2022 World Cup group stage.
