Euro 2020: GER vs HUN Preview

By Parameswaran Sankaranarayanan June 23, 2021

Germany (GER) faces a tricky test against Hungary (HUN) in their final fixture of the Euro 2020 Group F. A point would guarantee them a place in the last 16, while their opponents Hungary need three points to make it to the knockout stages. The 2014 world champions came back from a goal down to thrash Portugal 2-4 on Saturday. Hungary played out a thrilling 1-1 draw with France in their last game.

Thomas Muller is likely to miss the clash as he suffered a knee injury during the Portugal match. Bayern Munich duo Leroy Sane and Leon Goretzka, who both made substitute appearances in the last game, could make it to the playing eleven. Meanwhile, Serge Gnabry, after an excellent outing against Portugal, will be keen to end his search for a maiden goal in a major competition.

Hungary will hope to pull off a shocking win over Germany and grab a place in the round of 16. Goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi is their biggest strength at the backline. He made a few excellent saves against France and could have kept a clean sheet if not for that mistake that led to the equalizer. The attacking unit will hope to hit Germany on the counter using the pace of Roland Sallai and Attila Fiola, who scored against France.
