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

      This.

  11. Shels
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    proof Austria is not in-fact Germany

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

      Austra just poor today

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years

      João Mario

  13. Shels
    • 12 Years

    Alaba consolation now

  14. Yankee Toffee

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

  15. Jonny HOW SON?

    Hungary to do a Leicester?

    400/1 biggest outsiders for the tournament...

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

      No just no

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

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  17. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

  18. Shels
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Almost Alaba assist 🙁

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

      🙁

    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, 1 month ago

      Dragovic

      At least Denayer still has a chance of playing next time

  20. George Sillett
    • 10 Years

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

  21. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ugh 🙄

  22. Jay_
    10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

      Giacherrini for sure.

      1. KingNidge
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This

  23. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    @STANCIU HAZARDOUS

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

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

      Watch his highlights vs Spain

  25. GreenWindmill
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    Hopefully they come good in MD2 🙂

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Can sense a Konoplyanka explosion in MD2. 🙂

        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

    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
