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.

      1. Shels
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        -_-,

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

      Okay to be fair now I'm happy I dropped Dragovic otherwise I would've captained him today for sure

      1. Shels
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Good call

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

      I did say Dragovic reminded me of Pepe 🙂

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

      Dragovic gets another -1 if Austria concede one more

    • The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Or maybe not TFFF 😉

        Hahahaha, even captaining Junuzovic's 1 pointer feels like a win for me. 🙂

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Team Poland struggling... It's hilarious, though. 😀

      After watching 15 mins of this match we could see dragovic was a nutter

      Surprising nobody picked up on this.

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        The ref did

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

        I picked up on it wayyy long ago. Looked reckless. I said he reminded me of Pepe a few pages back.

    • 420king
      • 11 Years

      Junuzović owners, what are we doing? He could be injured and not play against Portgual

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Think Draxler is worth investing on?

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

          good shout. I'm considering Andre Gomes/Dzemaili though to free up cash but not a bad straight swap

    • Aarono23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Subbed out Perisic and Muller for Junozovic and Dragovic.

      That's gone well.

    • Would an idiot do that?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Dragovic Alaba and Juno lol Fail

    • Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Was thinking "who to take out"

      Looks like Dragovic made that easy for me

      1. Jay_
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Not that simple, plays Portugal next anyway, may be better to save a ft and keep him for Iceland

      2. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Hungary have looked quite good
