Group F matchday 2 match previews

Kicking off the second round of fixtures in the ‘group of death’, is a huge game between Hungary vs France, with France looking to take a huge step forward to achieving qualification to the knockout stages when they face Hungary on Saturday

France, the 2018 world cup winners, kicked off their Euro 2020 journey with a huge 1-0 win against Germany, following a Mats Hummels own goal. With France having faced Germany, they are left to face Hungary, before finally facing Portugal in the last game of the group stages, meaning this tie against Hungary could prove helpful for the French.

As for Hungary, their Euro 2020 campaign got off to an unfortunate start, holding back Portugal for 80 minutes. However the final 10 minutes faded away from them cruelly, with their goal being ruled offside, moments before Portugal scored 3 goals, with 2 coming from star man Cristiano Ronaldo. However, the result was far from telling of how the game played out, as Hungary had a fair number of chances, meaning they will be fighting to give their all against France, before they play Germany in the final game of the group stages. This game is a must-win for Hungary; however, it will show a huge test for them to achieve the result they need.

Following the 2pm kick-off between Hungary and France, Portugal will take on Germany. This game will be a huge game for both teams, with Portugal leaving it late to score 3 against Hungary, and now looking to secure their knockout stage place with a game to spare. Germany, however, really need a result, as they suffered a harsh defeat to France in their opening game of the group, and will be really fighting for the 3 points, before they aim to finish the group off strong against Hungary, when Portugal and France will face each other.
