Hungary vs Germany prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Nations League 2022-23
The UEFA Nations League returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Germany take on Hungary on Saturday.
Both teams have flattered to deceive so far this season and will need to step up in this match.
Germany have shown improvement over the past year under Hansi Flick and are in third place in their group. Die Mannschaft were held to a 1-1 draw by England in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Hungary, on the other hand, are in second place in Group 3 and have punched above their weight this season. The home side suffered a 2-1 defeat against Italy this week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
🎙️ @esmuellert_: "Ich versuche auf und neben dem Platz Input zu geben, die Jungs zu kitzeln, den Kampfgeist zu wecken. Man muss auf dem Platz etwas liefern, um vornewegzugehen. Das will ich natürlich auch vorleben."

Hungary vs Germany Prediction
Germany are yet to hit their peak in the UEFA Nations League and will need to bounce back from consecutive draws in the competition. The likes of Thomas Muller and Leon Goretzka have competed against Hungary in the past and will need to leverage their experience this weekend.
Hungary are perfectly capable of pulling off an upset on their day and have troubled Europe's bigwigs in the past. Germany are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Hungary 1-2 Germany
