JAKARTA The German national team will play the second match of the Euro 2024 group phase against Hungary. This is a great opportunity for the hosts to lock up one ticket to the knockout round.
The duel between the two teams will take place by MHPArena, Stuttgart, on Wednesday, June 19 at 23.00 WIB. If able to get three points, Die Mannschaft automatically qualified for the last 16 of the tournament.
The six-point collection will see them finish at least in runner-up position before the group title race in the final match against Switzerland on Monday, June 24.
Currently Julian Nagelsmann's side are at the top of Group A's standings. They collect three points, ahead of Switzerland, who are in second place with the same number of points.
Germany has the right to the top position because it is ahead of the goal difference over Switzerland. This is after the tournament opening match, Die Mannschaft secured a 5-1 victory against Scotland at the Allianz Arena.
These results made the hosts even set an important record in football. It was the biggest win in the opening game ever in a competition played by the men's teams.

In addition, Germany also maintains a five-match trend unbeaten. Four of them ended in wins and the only draw in that period was against Ukraine earlier this month.
However, Hungary has sweet memories of Germany in their three latest clashes. One of them was when they were able to steal one point in their 2-2 draw in the group stage of Euro 2020.
Two matches after that occurred in the 2022 UEFA Nations League competition. At that time, Hungary could get one point while playing at home and stealing three points when visiting the German headquarters.
In addition, the result against Switzerland in the group's first match at Euro 2024 was the second defeat that Hungary experienced in their last 17 matches in all competitions. A rather impressive note.
Although both defeats occurred this month, a streak of 12 wins in 12 matches should provide a little comfort for Magyars supporters.

Germany (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Kimmich, Tah, Rudiger, Mittelstadt; Andrich, Kroos; Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz; Havertz.
