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.

      Fully deserved for Hungary!

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        This.

    6. Shels
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      proof Austria is not in-fact Germany

    7. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Most likely player other than Ronaldo and Siggy to score later?

      Though I am having 2nd thoughts about saving those 2 for when they play Hungary

      1. Shels
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Austra just poor today

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

        João Mario

    8. Shels
      • 12 Years

      Alaba consolation now

    9. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Beauty of a chip. Could've had a drink of water before he hit that.

    10. Jonny HOW SON?

      Proud of my country's team!!!

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Good on you.

      Hungary to do a Leicester?

      400/1 biggest outsiders for the tournament...

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        No just no

        They were poor in the first half and should have been 1-0 down

      2. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Leicester have ruined it for the 1000/1 odds ever happening again

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

      Dragovi(c) must really hurt. Junuzovi(c) doesn't even compare.

    13. Shels
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Almost Alaba assist 🙁

      1. Shels
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        🙁

    14. Telpuialion

      I replaced Denayer with Dragovic. 😀 Now who goes out on a FT? Denayer or Dragovic?

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Dragovic

        At least Denayer still has a chance of playing next time

    15. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      So glad I got Hungary in the sweep. En vagyok olyan szerencses

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

      Ugh 🙄

    17. Jay_
        10 years, 10 days ago

        What to do with Dragovic?

        A: Keep, hide him away for a 0 v POR, save ft for round 3 and get him back for ICE.

        B: Sell for Dier or any other 5.0 Def?

        1. Backup Dancer
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Giacherrini for sure.

          1. KingNidge
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            This

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

        Dragovic to Guerreiro and Matuidi to Payet a few minutes before deadline worked out well. The only positive.

        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        @STANCIU HAZARDOUS

        Convince me Stanciu is the best replacement for Junozovic at 6.5m (have Mak)

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Watch his highlights vs Spain

      • GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Feels like I got a bunch of nearly men in midfield: Alaba, Perisic, Konoplyanka, Gotze, Stanciu

        Hopefully they come good in MD2 🙂

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Can sense a Konoplyanka explosion in MD2. 🙂

            • 10 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            He will be in my team in a few hours... Goodbye Hakan

        What's wrong with Austria??? Been reading so much about them on here for weeks and now I turn on the TV to see they've been soundly beaten by a poor team???

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

          It's football. It can happen.

        Alaba c = 4 points junojovic 1 point 🙁

        (Late SPAIN GOAL KEPT CECH cs)

      • Call Me Guybrush
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Should never have taken the (C) off Giroud.
