Preview
The match for first place in Group A3 of the UEFA Nations League will take place at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig. Germany are looking to extend their 13-match unbeaten streak.
A victory for Die Mannschaft would see them reach the semi-finals for the first time, although after this clash they will have an away trip to old enemies in England.
Hansi Flick’s wards will certainly be confident that they will achieve a good result, since the four-time world champions have not lost at home since its inception.
However, there is a recurring theme of draws at home in the Nations League, which they really can’t afford here, but with four (1-1) draws also in their last five caps, goal problems could hamper the drive to top.
It’s unlikely that Group leaders Hungary have any reason to believe they can handle the disappointment, despite the chances of finishing first in a group of three former World Cup winners.
Ranked at just 37th in the world, England have beaten England twice in impressive fashion and have the best defense in the group, conceding just three times in their first four games.
The team are also unbeaten in their last two matches against Germany, including a 2-2 draw at the UEFA European Championship last year and another in the return match in June.
However, Hungary’s chances of winning seem slim as they have only had one win over Germany since 1985, which came in a friendly match in 2004.
As you know, with so much at stake, the visitors will take this victory incredibly seriously, and the victory will put them on the brink of a semi-final in a UEFA competition for the first time in 50 years.
