Germany vs Hungary - Euro 2024: Live score, team news and updates as hosts name an unchanged side from opening day win over Scotland, while their opponents make two changes with Dominik Szoboszlai named as captain

Toni Kroos just continues to impress. After winning the Champions League with Real Madrid earlier this summer, he is set to retire from professional football after this summer's European Championships.

And he'll no doubt be hoping to bow out with a win. With Kroos having masterminded Germany's demolition of Scotland on Friday night.

But some have surprisingly questioned his abilities over the years. Interestingly, he has earned the nickname 'Sidepass Toni', a bizarre name considering the decorated career the Real Madrid midfielder has enjoyed.

Mail Sport's Riath Al-Samarrai delves into Kroos' sensational career and why 'Sidepass Toni' is such an interesting nickname.

'We've paid for these (mistakes) in the first game and tomorrow we are playing Germany which, in my opinion, is the toughest rival, toughest team to play now, but we will do our best,' Hungary boss Marco Rossi said to Reuters ahead of this afternoon's match.

'We know on paper the German team is better than us. This should further motivate us, allowing us to give our very best show.

'Hopefully we can grasp a point tomorrow and that will allow us, I hope, to qualify for the next round. But this will call for the perfect match, all those playing must give 100 per cent.'

After suffering a 3-1 victory against Switzerland in their opening Euro 2024 clash, Hungary will be keen to bounce back and could spoil the party against Germany later today.

Led by Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai, Hungary were unbeaten in qualifying, with the Reds' midfielder becoming the youngest captain in the history of a European Championship at just 23.

But if they want to qualify for the knockout stages, they will need to secure a result tonight against Germany and have a good record against the 2014 World Cup winners too.

The permutations of this match could have a big say in who qualifies from Group A.

If Germany win and Scotland suffer defeat by Switzerland later tonight, Nagelsmann's side will qualify for the knockout stages - but they cannot win the group until they play their final group game against Switzerland next week.

Germany are out warming up right now. There was initial concern in the week that Thomas Muller would not be fit to play after picking up a knock against Scotland but it appears Nagelsmann has his full squad available for this afternoon's match!

The atmosphere is bubbling nicely inside the MHPArena, with only 30 minutes to go until kick-off.

Our man on the ground Riath Al-Samarrai tells us while Germany fans have the numbers, it is Hungary's supporters who are winning the noise battle.

It's not all been plain sailing for Germany in recent years. The hosts have undergone a period of transition that began following their dismal group-stage exit from the 2022 World Cup.

The departure of former coach Hansi Flick was a huge signal that this side were looking to change things up, but after losing six of their 11 international matches in 2023, questions have been asked about where this German side has been going.

In steps Julian Nagelsmann and in many ways, he appears to have this side firing once again. In fact, Germany looked brilliant against Scotland on Friday night, scarily so.

They look to be one of the teams to beat at this summer's tournament. But tonight will be a huge test for Nagelsmann's side.

Can they pick up where they left off?

Mail Sport's Riath Al-Samarrai is on the ground in Stuttgart and has given his verdict on what will be a tough encounter for Germany.

'Unsurprisingly Nagelsmann has kept the same side that butchered Scotland.

'This will likely be a stiffer test assuming Hungary react to that surprising defeat against Switzerland. The key will be smothering Toni Kroos, if such a thing is possible.

'One of the observations from the Scotland win was how deep he dropped to orchestrate play, often going as far back as centre-half. Scotland gave him the space to do so and Hungary surely won’t make the mistake, though it is plainly one thing to apply the pressure, another to ruffle him.

'At 34 he remains one of the very best midfielders of the era – I find it baffling that he is retiring after this tournament.'

The atmosphere is building at the MHPArena as fans are filtering into the stadium.

Here's a sneak peek inside the Hungary dressing room ahead of the match...

Marco Rossi has made two changes to his side that suffered a 3-1 defeat by Switzerland in their Euro 2024 opener.

Adam Lang and Attila Szala are both omitted from the starting XI, with Milos Kerkez, of Bournemouth, coming into the starting line up.

It'll also mean Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai will captain Hungary today.

Hungary XI (3-4-2-1): Gulacsi, Fiola, Orban, Dardai, Bolla, Nagy, Schafer, Kerkez, Szoboszlai, Varga, Sallai

Julian Nagelsmann's side are unchanged following their 5-1 victory against Scotland on Friday, with Ilkay Gundogan and Toni Kroos starting in midfield for Die Manschaft.

Thomas Muller appeared to suffer a minor injury during their Euro 2024 opener against Scotland, but it appears Nagelsmann will have his full squad available for this afternoon's match.

Despite the torrential storms that have struck Germany in recent days, it seems the weather is looking good in Stuttgart for this afternoon's clash between Germany and Hungary.

Julian Nagelsmann's side are already in the house and have been out inspecting the pitch ahead of this afternoon's clash which will kick off at 5pm BST.

Good afternoon and welcome back to another jam-packed afternoon of live football coverage!

We've got plenty to get through this evening with two live games on with the second round of fixtures from Group A coming thick and fast.

First up, Germany are back in action and are looking to continue on from their 5-1 victory against Scotland last Friday with a win against Hungary.

Victory will put Germany in good stead to qualify and finish top of their group, but Hungary will not be an easy opponent. While they suffered a 3-1 defeat by Switzerland in their Euro 2024 opener, they'll be eager to avenge that 3-1 defeat, with Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai leading his side out tonight.

Later on tonight, we'll also have live coverage from Scotland's second Euro 2024 fixture against Switzerland, with Steve Clarke's side another team out to avenge their defeat against Germany.

Stay tuned as we'll be bringing you all the live coverage, analysis and commentary here on Mail Sport.
