Germany vs Hungary – Euro 2021

Group F is certainly the most attractive group at this year’s European Championship. We can freely call it a “group of death”. In the group are France as the current world champion, Portugal as the current European champion, Germany which is always uncomfortable, and Hungary as an outsider in this group. Due to a very strange draw, we came to the situation of watching three football giants in the same group. The Hungarians will certainly try to sell the leather in this group as expensively as possible, although to be objective, their chances of passing further are minimal.

it is known that after the end of this championship, Joachim Low will leave the bench of the German national team and that the new coach will be replaced by the former Bayern coach, Hans Flick. Germany disappointed their fans at the previous World Cup when they were eliminated already in the group stage of the competition, but despite numerous speculations, Low remained the coach. This competition is the last opportunity for Low to make a top result with the national team and he will certainly have a great motive to make up for the bad results in Russia in 2018.
Low at one point thanked experienced players like Muller, Hummels, Boateng and did not invite them to the national team. He later repented and Muller and Hummels will get a chance to play in this championship. In addition to the mentioned two players, the German national team has many other quality players who could give it a good result in this championship. Certainly, the Germans have an enviable quality that can enable them to repeat the result from the last European Championship, when they were defeated by the host France in the semifinals.

Names like Neuer, Gundogan, Sane, Werner, etc. guarantee that Germany can make a good result even though it may not be providing its best games lately. Recently, Germany was defeated at home by Northern Macedonia in the World Cup qualifiers, and all fans will certainly have a negative memory of Germany’s 6-0 defeat in the League of Nations against Spain, which was certainly one of the worst games in the history of the German national team.

As for the match with Hungary, Germany is the absolute favorite. Playing at home on the Allianz Arena in Munich and everything but the victory of the Germans would be a big surprise. The Hungarians came to this championship by a detour because they secured a place in the EURO through the League of Nations. In the final of that competition, they defeated Iceland, a sensation from the last European Championship, and they will have the opportunity to participate in the European Championship for the second time in a row. The Hungarians have had very poor results over the years. They had their most serious results in the fifties and sixties of the last century when they were once third at the European Championship and twice second in the world. It was the Germans who made a sensation at the 1954 World Cup when they defeated the then great favorites of the Hungarians, led by Puskas and Kocsis. Since then, the Hungarians have not had more serious results, and they have rarely had the opportunity to participate in any major competition at all.

After more than 40 years of waiting, the Hungarians played at the European Championship 2016 and managed to pass to the knockout phase in which they were convincingly defeated by Belgium. We will have the opportunity to watch them again at this championship, but they will hardly be able to make the result achieved in France. Hungary objectively does not have the quality to deal with its rivals in the group. Hungary is weakened because they are playing in the championship without the best player Szoboszlai who was injured. In the current lineup, it will be very difficult for her to endanger her much stronger rivals.

As for the duel between Germany and Hungary, a lot of goals should be expected. It would not be surprising if the Hungarians even scored a goal, considering that the Germans have been receiving goals almost regularly at home lately, so this is a good opportunity for those who like to bet to earn. The Hungarians might have a slightly better chance of a good result to play on their field, but since it is played at the Allianz Arena, everything except the victory of Germany will be a big surprise. The Germans are always very efficient at home, so we should expect to defeat the Hungarians, and to score two or three goals.
