Germany vs. Hungary Match Prediction
Germany might seem like the favorite on paper, but recent encounters between the two teams do not suggest a clear frontrunner. In their last seven meetings, Germany won thrice while Hungary secured two victories, with two draws.
However, given Germany’s current form with a young squad, they are likely to handle Hungary comfortably.
- Prediction: Germany 3-0 Hungary
