Hosts Germany are back in Euro 2024 action on Wednesday afternoon when they take on Hungary in Stuttgart. 

A dominant 5-1 win over Scotland got the Germans off to a perfect start on Friday and they will look to seal a last-16 place when they take on a Hungarian side that lost 3-1 to Switzerland in their opener. 

Germany's first game saw the only red card of the first round of fixtures when Ryan Porteous was sent off for Scotland, but who will be in the officiating crew this time?
