As part of the UEFA Nations League, a clash between the national teams of Hungary and Turkey will take place. The encounter is scheduled for Sunday, March 23, in Budapest. Kick-off is set for 18:00 Central European Time. I suggest betting on the winner of this game.
Match preview
The Hungarian team performed in League A of the Nations League in the autumn, where they tried to challenge Germany and the Netherlands. At home, Rossi's side remained unbeaten and managed to surpass Bosnia, now aiming to retain their place in the elite division against the Turks.
In the first encounter, the Hungarians performed well, especially in the first half, but ultimately fell short. The return match will be a real test for them, as making a comeback will be extremely difficult.
Turkey led their group for a long time, but all the team's achievements were overshadowed by a defeat to Montenegro in the last round. Montella's side missed out on direct promotion, allowing Wales to take the lead.
The Turks capitalized on their chances in the home game, securing a comfortable 3-1 victory. In Budapest, they will play even more cautiously and primarily aim to maintain an acceptable outcome in the confrontation.
Match facts
- Hungary has drawn their last three home matches.
- Turkey has lost five times in their previous ten away matches.
- Hungary scores an average of 1.2 goals per game at home, while Turkey scores an average of 1.6 goals per game away.
Probable lineups
- Hungary: Dibusz, Fiola, Orban, Dardai, Bolla, Nikicser, Csobot, Kata, Szoboszlai, Kerkez, Varga.
- Turkey: Cakir, Elmali, Bardakci, Aydin, Akaydin, Akturkoglu, Calhanoglu, Ayhan, Kahveci, Yilmaz, Yildiz.
H2H
The teams have faced each other 10 times: 2 draws and 4 wins each side.
Prediction
The hosts will try to change the course of the confrontation, but coming back from two goals down will be challenging. I bet on Hungary to win with a handicap of 0.
