In this final round of Nations League matches, there will be a few fixtures with not a lot on the line, and that is the case here as Hungary host Germany.

The Germans secured top spot in Group A3 on Saturday as they recorded the biggest ever Nations League win, defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina 7-0. Hungary will finish in third behind the Netherlands.

Match Preview

Hungary Recent Form

In the 2024/25 Nations League, Hungary have won one, lost two and drawn one.

They are coming off a 4-0 defeat to the Netherlands over the weekend, though that match was overshadowed by a serious touchline incident as Hungary assistant coach Adam Szalai collapsed. Thankfully, he has recovered and is stable and conscious in hospital.

Hungary Injury News

Hungary will welcome back influential defender Attila Fiola from suspension and he'll likely replace Botond Balogh in the starting XI.

There are no fresh injury concerns from the Netherlands loss.

Last Hungary Lineup

Here's how Hungary lined up against the Netherlands.

Germany Recent Form

Germany have been near-perfect in the Nations League as they've only dropped points in one match - a 2-2 draw away against the Netherlands in September.

Over the weekend, they beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 7-0 with Jamal Musiala, Tim Kleindienst, Kai Havertz, Florian Wirtz and Leroy Sane all scoring.

Germany Injury News

Jonathan Tah is suspended for this one after picking up another yellow against Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Joshua Kimmich suffered a knock to the ankle so he won't be risked with nothing on the line.

Julian Nagelsmann will make a plethora of changes here, with top spot secured.

Last Germany Lineup

Here's how Germany lined up against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Hungary - Player To Watch

No Hungary player enjoyed their evening against the Netherlands, and you can certainly forgive them as they were naturally concerned after the incident with the assistant coach. Dominik Szoboszlai remains their best and most influential player, but it remains to be seen whether he'll start again.

Germany - Player To Watch

Leroy Sane will probably be given an opportunity to impress from the start here after coming off the bench to score last time out.

Hungary vs Germany - Prediction

Even with a number of fringe players set to come in for Germany, Nagelsmann's side will probably have too much for Hungary, especially with nothing on the line.
