Hosts Germany will be looking to maintain their winning momentum when they take on Hungary in their second Group A match on Wednesday.
Germany’s Euro 2024 campaign couldn’t have gotten off to a better start. The 5-1 drubbing of Scotland in their tournament opener was their biggest-ever victory in the competition and a record for the biggest win by a host nation in their opening match at a European Championship.
That victory has not only set the tone for the rest of the tournament but has also given fans the license to dream and dispelled plenty of the doubts surrounding Julian Nagelsmann’s squad heading into the tournament.
Several aspects of Germany’s performance against Scotland, which took them top of Group A, would have pleased Nagelsmann, especially the variety of scorers. Five different players found the net, an improvement on Euro 2020, where only three German players scored throughout the tournament. Further highlighting Die Mannschaft squad’s strength in depth was the fact that two goals came from substitutes.
Youngster Jamal Musiala impressed once again, solidifying his reputation as one of Europe’s most exciting young talents. Toni Kroos’ midfield masterclass was another standout aspect. The veteran maestro completed an incredible 101 out of 102 passes against Scotland, dictating the tempo and orchestrating attacks with precision.
Hungary, therefore, have their work cut out for them on Wednesday. They were largely disappointing in their 3-1 defeat to Switzerland in their opening game, with defensive frailties exposed and struggling to create chances.
Marco Rossi’s side will need significant improvement in all areas to even get near the Germans. However, it is difficult to see Hungary leaving the MHPArena with anything. Their encounter with Scotland on matchday three offers a more realistic prospect of bagging their first points of the tournament.
