Germany vs Hungary prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Nations League 2022-23

Germany are back in action with a UEFA Nations League fixture this week as they take on Hungary on Thursday.

Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will be determined to win this game.

Hungary are at the top of Group 3 in the UEFA Nations League and have been in excellent shape this year. The Magyars stunned England with a 4-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

Germany, on the other hand, are in second place in the group and are yet to hit their stride in this edition of the competition. Die Mannschaft thrashed Italy by a 5-2 scoreline in June this year and will look to replicate that form in this match.

Germany vs Hungary Prediction

Germany have an impressive squad at their disposal and have improved under the tutelage of Hansi Flick. The likes of Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sane can be lethal on their day and will need to be at their best in this match.

Hungary can pull off an upset when they're at their best and will be intent on making the most of their purple patch. Germany are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: Germany 2-1 Hungary
