Germany Should Test Full-Strength Lineup in Friendly vs. Hungary

Germany will play their second and final warm-up match before Euro 2016 on Saturday against Hungary in Schalke's Veltins Arena. Time will tell if choosing another relatively weak opponent before the tournament was the right choice, after the World Cup holders lost 3-1 to Slovakia on Sunday.

Without a true test before the first kick-off in France, a bit of uncertainty will remain regardless of the result against the Hungarians.

The preparations for the Euros have been a bumpy ride so far for Joachim Low and his team. Key players such as Mats Hummels haven't been able to train, while Lukas Podolski and Toni Kroos only joined the team this week after winning silverware with Galatasaray and Real Madrid, respectively.
