Hungary Squad & Team News

Goalkeepers: Péter Gulácsi (vice-captain), Dénes Dibusz, Ádám Bogdán

Defenders: Ádám Lang, Ákos Kecskés, Attila Szalai, Attila Fiola, Willi Orbán, Gergő Lovrencsics, Endre Botka, Bendegúz Bolla

Midfielders: Loïc Négo, Ádám Nagy, Tamás Cseri, András Schäfer, László Kleinheisler, Dániel Gazdag, Dávid Sigér

Forwards: Ádám Szalai (captain), Filip Holender, Roland Varga, Kevin Varga, Roland Sallai, Nemanja Nikolić, Szabolcs Schön, János Hahn

Defender Szilveszter Hangya, midfielder Zsolt Kalmár and attacking midfielder Dominik Szoboszla miss out due to injury.

Goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi and centre back Willi Orbán have plenty of experience in the Bundesliga. Orban should partner Attila Szalai and Ádám Lang in central defence.

Bristol City’s Ádám Nagy anchors the midfield with Ádám Szalai likely to start in attack after scoring 23 goals in 71 internationals.

Portugal Form

Portugal have won four of their last six matches. The Seleção started their World Cup qualification campaign with a 1-0 win against Azerbaijan.

Fernando Santos’ side then drew 2-2 in Serbia after establishing a 2-0 lead. They won 3-1 in Luxembourg, overturning a 1-0 deficit with Diogo Jota, Cristiano Ronaldo and João Palhinha on target.

Portugal have played two friendlies to get ready for Euro 2020. They drew 0-0 against Spain before a 4-0 win against Israel, Bruno Fernandes scoring twice with Cristiano Ronaldo and João Cancelo on target.

João Cancelo recently tested positive for COVID-19 and was replaced by Diogo Dalot. Expect Nelson Semedo to start at right back.

Captain Cristiano Ronaldo has 175 caps and 104 goals to his name. He is close to being the top international goalscorer of all time.
