The first of two Tuesday evening Euro 2016 matches sees hotly-tipped Austria, who emerged unbeaten from qualifying, take on Hungary.

Marcel Koller’s Austria topped a tough qualifying group, which included Russia and Sweden, to reach Euro 2016 but had mixed fortunes in their pre-tournament build up. While they beat Malta 2-1 they also lost 2-0 to the Netherlands. This is the first European Championships Austria have qualified for, having co-hosted the event when they took part in 2008.

Hungary qualified the hard way. They finished third in their group and only secured a place at the tournament by beating Norway in the play-offs. Bernd Storck’s side are set to rely heavily on Bursaspor wide man Balazs Dzsudzsak, who had double the number of shots than any of his international team mates over the qualifiers.

The two teams have played each other 137 times, but this is the first time they have met at a major tournament since the 1934 World Cup.

        Evening Nidge. Approaching tonight with great anticipation. Expecting at some point a reference to a dextrous (or ambidextrous) puffin. Hope you don't get a detention for it.

          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Could really do with a scabby Alaba penalty

          Anything....

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            This 🙂

          2. HurriKane
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            or a jammy junozovic assist

            1. HurriKane
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 10 days ago

        • ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          After that injury I'll be happy if I get 60 out of Junuzovic. That was terrifying as a captainer.

        • El Patron
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Why would anyone captain Junuzovic:D

            10 years, 10 days ago

          2. 420king
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            Giroud 5 -> Kane 2 -> Müller 2 -> KDB 2

            1. El Patron
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 10 days ago

              Was Junuzovic your only option today?

              1. 420king
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 10 days ago

                No, the other option was sub in Rui Patricio for Sommer and (c) him 😛

          3. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            1. El Patron
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 10 days ago

          1. 420king
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            The way this tourney is going its going to be 1-0 Dragovic goal

          2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            Most of the games have been tight.

        • Van Klinkert Delarosa
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Can't wait for Alaba to score a screamer just like against Malta. 😎

        • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Hungary look decent

        • JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Junuzovic (C) vs Quaresma (C)

          Who's going to win?

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            Junuzovic as Quaresma probably won't even play

            1. JÆKS ⭐
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 10 days ago

        • Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Alaba looks Hungary for a goal 😉

        • Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Anyone else love when the referee gives handball when players grab the ball thinking it's a foul?

          Arouses me a little.

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
