Today's Best Bets for Germany vs Hungary
The top two sides in League A Group 3 of the Nations League lock horns on Friday night as Germany look to secure the win that will take them above Hungary and possibly secure their place in the knockout stage. However, Hungary have impressed so far in this season's Nations League and thrashed England 4-0 at Wembly in their last game, so the visitors should not be underestimated.

Germany to Win & Both Teams to Score
We're expecting an entertaining 90-minutes in Germany and have backed a home win with both teams to score in the process. Germany have won three of their last six meetings with Hungary in all competitions and their last two games both produced goals at both ends of the pitch. Both teams have also scored in each of Germany's last five outings as well as in two of Hungary's last three fixtures, so you can see why we're not backing either defense to keep a clean sheet on Friday night.
Timo Werner to Score
Timo Werner has already scored two goals in the Nations League this season and we're backing the RB Leipzig forward to get on the scoreboard against Hungary this Friday. The 26-year-old has a good record at international level, scoring 24-goals in 53 caps, and while he has never scored against Hungary before, the striker did net twice against Italy in Germany's last Nations League match.

A win will take Germany to the top of the group
Germany claimed a 1-1 draw in Hungary back in June when the last set of Nations League games were played and followed that up with the impressive demolition of Italy at BORUSSIA-PARK in Mönchengladbach. Goals from Kimmicha and Gundogan put the home side 2-0 up a the break and in the second half, Muller made it 3-0 and Werner scored a brace in the space of 60-seconds to put the German 5-0 up. Italy scored twice late on to make the scoreline somewhat respectable but the damage had already been done.
Germany Squad: Manuel Neuer, Marc-André ter Stegen, Kevin Trapp, Antonio Rüdiger, Matthias Ginter, Niklas Süle, Thilo Kehrer, Robin Gosens, David Raum, Benjamin Henrichs, Nico Schlotterbeck, Armel Bella-Kotchap, Joshua Kimmich, İlkay Gündoğan, Leon Goretzka, Julian Brandt, Kai Havertz, Jamal Musiala, Jonas Hofmann, Thomas Müller, Timo Werner, Leroy Sané, Serge Gnabry & Lukas Nmecha.
After that 1-1 draw with Germany, Hungary faced the tricky trip to Molineux to take on winless England. The game turned out to be one-sided and not the way most expected, as Sallai scored twice, Nagy and Gazdag also got on the scoresheet as Hungary secured a famous 4-0 victory against Southgate's men.
Hungary Squad: Péter Gulácsi, Dénes Dibusz, Péter Szappanos, Ádám Lang, Ákos Kecskés, Attila Szalai, Attila Fiola, Willi Orbán, Loïc Négo, Endre Botka, Bendegúz Bolla, Milos Kerkez, Attila Mocsi, Ádám Nagy, László Kleinheisler, Dominik Szoboszlai, András Schäfer, Dániel Gazdag, Bálint Vécsei, Péter Baráth, Ádám Szalai, Kevin Varga, Martin Ádám & Zalán Vancsa.
