Germany couldn’t have got their Euro 2024 campaign off to a better start. Against Scotland, in the opening game of the tournament, they were a goal up within 10 minutes and added a second just before 20 had been played. On the stroke of halftime a penalty, and a red card for Scotland’s Ryan Porteous, put the game beyond doubt, and two goals in the second half added real gloss to the scoreline. Even an own-goal from Antonio Rüdiger couldn’t dampen the party atmosphere among the German fans after such a convincing 5-1 win.
Meanwhile, Hungary’s first group-stage game didn’t quite go to plan. They struggled to get to grips with a high-intensity Switzerland team and found themselves 0-2 down at halftime. While a second-half goal from Barnabás Varga gave them hope of staging a dramatic comeback, a late goal from Breel Embolo sealed the three points for the Swiss team. While Hungary will fancy their chances against Scotland, to progress from Group A will likely require them to achieve at least a point in this match, adding a dose of additional pressure.
Here's how they line up:
Germany: Neuer, Kimmich, Rudiger, Tah, Mittelstadt, Andrich, Kroos, Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz, Havertz
Hungary: Gulacsi, Fiola, Orban, Dardai, Bolla, A. Nagy, Schafer, Kerkez, Sallai, Szoboszlai, Varga
The Germany vs Hungary live stream should be an exciting game. Germany can effectively seal their qualification to the next round with a win, while Hungary will be battling for at least a draw to keep them in contention for the progression to the next round. Here are all the details you need to watch this Euro 2024 group-stage game online and from anywhere.
