The starting position with betting odds
What is the starting position ahead of the Germany-Hungary game on Saturday?
Given their four recent encounters, Hungary could prove to be a tough opponent for the newly-formed DFB side. They have failed to win three of their last four matches. In the last Nations League season, there was a draw (1:1) and a 0:1 home defeat. Before that, there was also a draw (2:2) at EURO 2021.
It was only at EURO 2024 that this streak was ended with a 2-0 win in the group stage
Which is probably why the Germany – Hungary betting odds from super bookie Bet365 clearly see the DFB team as the favorites for the Nations League opener.
The Magyars have already been eliminated from Euro 2024 in the preliminary round with two defeats and a draw.
The question remains: How well will the new DFB team perform after the departures of Ilkay Gündogan, Toni Kroos, Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller after just a few training sessions?
