Hungary will be bidding to bounce back in the in the UEFA Nations League- league A group 3 this weekend when they host Germany at Puskás Aréna. Kickoff schedules for June 11, 2022 at 21:45 EAT.
The home team has proved a tough nut to crack in the Euro 2020 group of death and have begun their Nations League campaign in similar fashion; however they were undone by Italy’s influential midfielders on Tuesday evening. Hungary is currently second in the group with three points and is just a point behind group leaders Italy. The home team has only lost twice in their last seven matches across all competitions but their home record has been very patchy as they have struggled to string together two successive good performances.
Hungary will be looking to make amends coming off 2-1 Nations League defeat at the hands of Italy last time out. In that game, Hungary managed 44% possession, 12 shots with four of them on target Italy got 17 shots with six of them on target and goals by Nicolò Barella (30′), Lorenzo Pellegrini (45′) and Gianluca Mancini (61′ OG).
Since Germany’s elimination in the Euro 2020 by England, Flick has at least now overseen an 11-game unbeaten run at the helm, during which time Die the national team has never failed to score, but they have recorded just one win from their six away games in the Nations League so far. This time round, they are winless after two matches with just two points and will be desperate to win this match to keep pace with group leaders Italy.
Germany shared spoils 1-1 in the Nations with England in their last match. In that game, Germany had 63% possession and 10 shots at goal with 6 on target and a goal scored by Jonas Hofmann (50′). England got 15 with six on target and a goal by Harry Kane (88′).
