Form
The German national team is showcasing destructive form in the UEFA Nations League. A recent 7-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina not only set a record for the largest win in the competition’s history but also reinforced the overwhelming power of “Die Mannschaft.” With three consecutive wins and the top spot in their group already secured, Julian Nagelsmann’s squad enters their clash against Hungary brimming with confidence.
On the other hand, Hungary is struggling following a heavy 0-4 defeat to the Netherlands. Although not relegated yet, Marco Rossi’s side will face a playoff early next year to stay in League A. In this Nations League campaign, Hungary has managed just one win (2-0 against Bosnia-Herzegovina), along with two draws and two losses.
Hungary suffered a crushing 0-5 defeat against Germany in September. History doesn’t seem to favor Hungary either, as they face a strong and ambitious Die Mannschaft.
Squad Updates
Germany
The visitors face some personnel challenges, with Jonathan Tah suspended and Joshua Kimmich dealing with an ankle issue. However, Kimmich is expected to recover in time, while Nico Schlotterbeck is set to replace Tah in central defense. Nagelsmann is likely to rotate his squad, giving opportunities to players like Serge Gnabry, Felix Nmecha, and Alexander Nübel.
Hungary
On the home side, the return of Attila Fiola from suspension will bolster Hungary’s defense. However, the absence of full-back Milos Kerkez due to injury remains a significant loss. Players like Zsolt Nagy and Endre Botka will need to step up to ensure defensive stability.
Predicted Lineups
Hungary: Dibusz; Botka, Lang, Szalai, Fiola; Schäfer, Nagy, Styles; Szoboszlai, Sallai, Varga.
Germany: Nübel; Klostermann, Schlotterbeck, Rüdiger, Gosens; Kimmich, Gündoğan; Gnabry, Nmecha, Musiala; Werner.

Goal & Conceding Rates
Prediction
While Hungary might address some of their defensive lapses from the loss to the Netherlands, their backline is unlikely to withstand Germany’s attacking power. Even with potential squad rotations, the quality of Die Mannschaft’s young stars should be enough to dominate.
Germany is expected to claim a comfortable victory, rounding off their group stage with another impressive performance.
Predicted Score (per Sportsmole): Hungary 0-2 Germany
