Hungary: still without a goal after two rounds
Marco Rossi’s side opened the tournament with a 0-1 defeat to Ukraine before playing out a goalless draw with Northern Ireland. As a result, Hungary are yet to win and have also failed to find the net in the current edition.
Daniel Lukács could lead the line once again, while the hosts’ main hopes will rest on Dominik Szoboszlai. Alex Toth could also earn a starting spot after making a strong impression off the bench in the previous match.
Georgia: Kvaratskhelia and Mikautadze must spark the attack
Georgia have also started the tournament without a win — a 0-1 defeat to Northern Ireland was followed by a goalless draw with Ukraine. After two matches, Ramaz Svanadze’s team sit bottom of the group. And, as we can see, Georgia have yet to score either.
The visitors’ main weapons are Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze. Both have already scored 23 goals for the national team, so the outcome in Budapest will largely depend on their attacking impact.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Hungary and Georgia have collected one point each after two rounds.
- Neither national team has scored a goal in the current Nations League campaign.
- The teams have each won one of their two previous meetings.
One moment could decide the match: prediction for Hungary — Georgia
Both national teams are struggling in front of goal, so an open game will be difficult to expect here. Hungary will have home advantage, but Georgia possess enough quality in attack to threaten the hosts’ goal on a regular basis.
Given both teams’ cautious starts, the most logical outcome looks like a tight match with few goals. Neither side has shown enough of an edge so far to justify confidently backing them to win.
