HUNGARY V GERMANY: THE TWO TEAMS LEVEL AT 1-1 AFTER FRENETIC OPENING AT THE PUSKAS ARENA

The transfer window is hotting up, with Nunez and Liverpool reportedly on the verge of an agreement, and De Jong's switch to Manchester United edging closer.

The corresponding Euro fixture last summer served up an entertaining 2-2 draw in Munich. A late Goretzka helped Germany snatch the three points from Hungary and qualify for the tournament’s knock out stages.

Hungary’s most recent win over Die Mannschaft came in a 2004 friendly. Germany legend Lothar Matthaus, who was the Hungary manager at-the-time, masterminded a 2-0 victory.

England are looking for their first win in this year’s Nations League. Will they get it in tonight's fixture against Italy, in what is a repeat of the last summer’s Euro 2020 final?

There are a number of Bundesliga players in the Hungary team, meaning this fixture is full of interesting sub-plots.

Among Hungary’s Bundesliga contingent is Leipzig’s Gulacsi, who was the last goalkeeper to claim a clean sheet against Bayern in the Bundesliga way back in 2020, when the German champions were coached by Flick.

Hungary’s most influential player is Leipzig schemer Szoboszlai, who converted from the last week against England.

That was the 21-year-old's sixth goal for his country and he is the heartbeat of this Hungary side.

Flick wants more improvement from his resurgent Germany side ahead of November's World Cup.

He said to media before the game: "The four games now are for us to check where we are. A lot can change quickly in football and in life.

“It's important that those who come in also show that they can help the team: they have done that impressively. For me, it's just important that you trust the players. We will do that. We want to make each individual a little bit better so that we can be even better in Qatar."

Hungary boss Rossi was full of praise for Flick’s Germany side when talking to the press.

He said: "Out of our three opponents, Germany are in the best shape and the most dangerous. It'll be tough to rein them in, dictate the match and play our own game. We'll be endeavouring to do so though, and I'm confident that this will show in the result.

“Overall, I'm happy with how we've performed, how organised we've been, and how the players have followed my instructions so far. Only in this way can we compete against such illustrious opponents."

Hungary and Union Berlin defender Schafer is suspended after picking up his second booking of the tournament against Italy.

Meanwhile, Gulacsi returns in goal having been rested against Italy.

For Germany Reus has been ruled out of the June fixtures due to a muscle tear, while Gnabry is doubtful with a calf injury.

Sule and Goretzka return to the first team while Sane is on the bench.

Follow live updates as Germany take on Hungary in group A3 of the Nations League. Flick is yet to lose any of his 11 matches as German boss, but the Mighty Magyars will present his side a stern test. Hungary acquitted themselves well in fixtures against England and Italy this Nations League campaign, while they have won four of their last six matches in all competitions.
