Germany already looks at the Euro with another face after their resounding victory against Portugal (4-2) that has made us forget the defeat in the debut against France. Now, the group closes against the rival, a priori, more affordable to ensure classification. He is worth a draw, but he is aware that a victory could give him the first place while waiting for France-Portugal.

Hungary, with a single point, is only worth the victory to get through the group stage as one of the best third parties. The draw against France has given the Magyars a point that was out of most forecasts and, incidentally, allowed them to show that they should not be underestimated by rivals.

Germany does not want surprises because, if it falls, against all odds it could be left out with a victory or a draw for Portugal against France in the other match of the group of death.

Hungary will try to repeat the recipe that gave it so much results against France. Very far behind and looking for the cons. Germany, for its part, has the doubt of Thomas Müller and, if he does not arrive in time, two alternatives are considered. One would be the entry to the team of Leroy Sané, who would play on the right wing. The other band would be for Serge Gnabry, while Kai Havertz would have to try to act as Müller.

The other option is the return of Leon Goretzka in the midfielder, he is a player who comes out of injury, but is indisputable for Löw. The Bayern player already had half an hour against Portugal.

On the other hand, Ilkay Gündogan, Mats Hummels and Toni Kroos returned with the group yesterday after slowing down in the last few days, so they seem available.

Optimism has returned to a German team that does not especially fall in love with his fans, who, in the last polls, were not given many options to even reach the final. Löw wants to say goodbye, however, through the front door and the players are to death with him. At the moment, he has the pass to the eighth in his hand and, from there, they want to grow.
