Germany are all set to take on Hungary in the Stuttgart arena in their second game of the Euro 2024 tournament. The host nation completely dismantled Scotland in the opening Euro fixture as they ran out 5-1 winners thanks to splendid performances by Jamal Musiala, Toni Kroos, Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz. 

Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann will hope his team can carry forward their momentum when they face Hungary in their second group stage game. A win against Hungary would almost seal a Round of 16 spot for Germany in their home tournament.

Jamal Musiala - Germany

Jamal Musiala was an absolutely terrorizing finger on the flanks for Germany in the first game and was named the man of the match for the game. Musiala will once again prove to be vital for Germany against Hungary. 

Toni Kroos - Germany

Toni Kroos had another splendid outing for Germany in the midfield as he had 99 percent passing accuracy. He completed 101 of his 102 passes in the game. Kroos is the glue in Germany's midfield and his performances will dictate how well the team does in the tournament. 

Dominik Szoboszlai - Hungary

Hungary are the underdogs going into the game and Szoboszlai is perhaps their most important player. He will need to pull his socks up big time for Hungary if they want to stay alive in the competition.
