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.

        • Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Could really do with a scabby Alaba penalty

          Anything....

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            This 🙂

          2. HurriKane
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            or a jammy junozovic assist

            1. HurriKane
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              would take a tap in too 😉

        • ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months 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
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Why would anyone captain Junuzovic:D

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

              9 years, 8 months ago

          2. 420king
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

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

            1. El Patron
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Was Junuzovic your only option today?

              1. 420king
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

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

          3. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Not many other options left.

            1. El Patron
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I have Ronny(c) 🙂

        • RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Why can I see this being another 1-0?

          1. 420king
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

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

          2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Most of the games have been tight.

        • Van Klinkert Delarosa
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

        • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Hungary look decent

        • JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Junuzovic (C) vs Quaresma (C)

          Who's going to win?

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Junuzovic as Quaresma probably won't even play

            1. JÆKS ⭐
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Really? Hope so 😀

        • Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Alaba looks Hungary for a goal 😉

        • Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

          Arouses me a little.
