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.

  17. Jay_
    10 years, 4 months ago

  18. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Could really do with a scabby Alaba penalty

    Anything....

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 4 months ago

      This 🙂

    2. HurriKane
      10 years, 4 months ago

      or a jammy junozovic assist

      1. HurriKane
        10 years, 4 months ago

        would take a tap in too 😉

  19. ★Kuntheman★
    10 years, 4 months ago

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

  20. El Patron
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Why would anyone captain Junuzovic:D

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      10 years, 4 months ago

      You don't wanna know the stories behind this

      1. harrydavies14
        10 years, 4 months ago

        If I could give you a plus +2 I would

    2. 420king
      10 years, 4 months ago

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

      1. El Patron
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Was Junuzovic your only option today?

        1. 420king
          10 years, 4 months ago

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

    3. Epic Fail
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Not many other options left.

      1. El Patron
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I have Ronny(c) 🙂

  21. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Why can I see this being another 1-0?

    1. 420king
      10 years, 4 months ago

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

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Most of the games have been tight.

  22. Van Klinkert Delarosa
    10 years, 4 months ago

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

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Hungary look decent

  24. JÆKS ⭐
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Junuzovic (C) vs Quaresma (C)

    Who's going to win?

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Junuzovic as Quaresma probably won't even play

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Really? Hope so 😀

  25. Give The Todd Some Love

    1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Used to be Madrid's player.

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      10 years, 4 months ago

      You're not wrong. More than used to it now though.

  26. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Alaba looks Hungary for a goal 😉

  27. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 4 months 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, 4 months ago

      I love it but not that much :/

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 4 months ago
