What is the team news?
Ilkay Gundogan was fortunate to escape serious injury following a horror challenge from Ryan Porteous in Germany’s opener, and should be fit to captain the side. Germany are unlikely to make any changes from their win over Scotland, with Julian Nagelsmann finding a settled team, but striker Niclas Fullkurg impressed with the bench.
Hungary were without Loic Nego and Callum Styles for their opening defeat to Switzerland but could be involved here. Marco Rossi may make changes following the nature of his side’s defeat, but Hungary will hope from an improved performance from captain Dominik Szoboszlai behind the striker Barnabas Varga.
Predicted line-ups
Germany XI: Neuer; Kimmich, Tah, Rudiger, Mittelstadt; Andrich, Kroos; Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz; Havertz
Hungary XI: Gulacsi; Orban, Lang, Szalai; Bolla, Nagy, Schafer, Kerkez; Sallai, Szoboszlai; Varga
Odds

Prediction
Germany build on their great start at Euro 2024 with another confidence-boosting win, with one of Jamal Musiala or Florian Wirtz getting back on the scoresheet. Hungary lose their way after Germany fly out of the traps, leaving them with a must-win match against Scotland in their final fixture. Germany 3-1 Hungary
