Germany, the Euro 2024 hosts, have silenced their critics with an impressive performance in Group A, showcasing their versatility and determination. Julian Nagelsmann's side topped their group with a mix of high-scoring victories and gritty performances, extending their unbeaten streak to seven games this year (W5, D2). Their solid defense, which hasn't conceded more than once in any of these matches, provides a strong foundation as they aim to reach the quarter-finals of a major tournament for the first time since Euro 2016.

Switzerland and Germany face off in their final Group A match at Euro 2024. Switzerland, with four points from two games, are on the brink of qualification, needing just one point to secure second place. Their recent form has been solid (W7, D8, L1 in last 16 matches), and they come off their best-ever Euro performance in 2021, reaching the quarter-finals.

Germany couldn't have begun Euro 2024 much better as they thrashed Scotland 5-1 on Friday to get their tournament off to a flying start. It set the stage for a goal-filled opening weekend but this contest against Hungary may be a cagier affair given the fact that only one of their last four head-to-head matches produced more than three goals – albeit that was a 2-2 draw at Euro 2020 (W1, D2, L1)!

The long-awaited 2024 UEFA European Championship finally kicks off on Friday night in Munich, as host nation Germany take on Scotland at the Allianz Arena. Considered one of the favorites to lift the trophy, Germany appear to have steadied the ship under manager Julian Nagelsmann, going four matches unbeaten (3 wins, 1 draw). However, three consecutive disappointing tournament exits may have home fans feeling apprehensive ahead of the opener.
