An intriguing encounter awaits us this weekend when Germany and Hungary meet in Düsseldorf for the opening day of the Nations League Group Stage.

Germany once again failed to give their fans something to celebrate when they hosted the Euros in June. Die Mannschaft were knocked out at the quarter-final stage but their performance was better than in previous tournaments. Prior to the Euros, Julian Nagelsmann's side didn't make it past the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar and finished third in Nations League A Group 3.

Hungary have had plenty to celebrate in recent years. The Tricolours finished top of their group in Euro qualifying and impressed in the recent Nations League, finishing second in League A ahead of the likes of Germany and England.

Germany vs Hungary Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals

Germany were very solid defensively at the last Euros. The Germans conceded under one goal in all their five matches, keeping two clean sheets and just two of those encounters produced more than two goals.

Hungary opened their UEFA EURO campaign with a defeat to Switzerland at the RheinEnergieStadion where they conceded three goals, but responded well in the subsequent matches. Marco Rossi’s men shipped just two goals in the next two games and none of the encounters produced more than two goals.

Recent meetings between Germany and Hungary have not equally been entertaining. The last meeting which was at EURO 2024 ended with just two goals and bets on under 2.5 goals have been won in each of the last three H2H meetings.

• Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
• Germany vs Hungary prediction: 2-0
