Hungary Form

Hungary had a disastrous start to the new UEFA Nations League season, suffering a 5-0 defeat to Germany. Their first home appearance a couple of days later was also a disappointment, a goalless draw against Bosnia & Herzegovina.

The Tricolours improved their form in October matches, starting with a 1-1 home draw against the Netherlands. The first victory was secured a couple of days later in Zenica against Bosnia & Herzegovina 2-0 with Dominik Szoboszlai scoring a brace.

Hungary is currently sharing the second place in the group with Netherlands, both sides grabbing five points in four matches but the Magyars having weaker goal difference.

Verdict

Netherlands v Hungary

BTTS Yes
