Germany come into the match having recorded a good 5-2 home win over Italy in their most recent fixture, which was in the Nations League.
Germany were 2-0 up at half time and added 3 more goals to their tally inside 24 minutes in the second half to leave the Italians in shock. Italy struck back twice inside the final 12 minutes but the damage had been done by Germany.
That was the first win this Nations League campaign for Germany. They started with a 1-1 draw in Italy, scoring an equalising goal in the 73rd minute. 1-1 has been a favourite score for the Germans as they picked up a point at home against England and in the reverse fixture against Hungary.
Trends show Germany are undefeated in their last 11 matches in all competitions. In terms of their home Nations League games, Germany are undefeated in each of their 7 matches on home soil. Both teams have scored in each of their last 6 home Nations League fixtures.
Hungary make the trip to the Red Bull Arena having enjoyed themselves in this Nations League campaign. They started with a good 1-0 home win over England before tasting a 2-1 defeat at the home of the European champions, Italy.
Hungary responded well to that defeat by picking up a point at home against Germany and then turned on the style to record one of their best results in recent history by beating England 4-0 at Wembley Stadium.
Trends show in their 12 most recent away matches in all competitions, Hungary have been undefeated 10 times.
Their away record in the Nations League shows Hungary are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches. They have defeated England, Serbia, and Turkey on the road plus picked up a point at Estonia and Russia.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 3 of the latest away matches in all competitions of Hungary.
Team news and Germany have a blend of youth and experience in their squad, with Manuel Neuer, Antonio Rüdiger, İlkay Gündoğan, and Thomas Müller among the senior players and Armel Bella-Kotchap, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Jamal Musiala the youngsters.
Hungary have star player Dominik Szoboszlai available and he will be joined by leading goal scorer and captain, Ádám Szalai in attack.
This has the makings of being an entertaining game and we expect to see both teams find the back of the net. Hungary are playing with plenty of confidence right now and they should have enough about them to take a point from this match.
