Hungary is at the bottom of their Nations League Group A3 after taking just one point in their first two games against Germany and Bosnia. The Hungarians were heavily beaten by Germany last month with a 0-5 loss, but tightened up defensively when they hosted Bosnia in the following match, holding them to a 0-0 draw.
Hungary is a much better team at home than they are away. In 2024, they have won 67 percent of their home games and lost 75 percent of their away games. They have scored 1.67 goals per home game and had possession for 55 percent of the time. They also create good chances at home, with an xG of 1.4 per home game and 1.25 expected goals conceded per match in front of their own fans.
The Netherlands made it all the way to the semi-finals in the Euros, and only a very late goal by Ollie Watkins caused their exit against England. The Dutch have started this Nations League season well with a convincing 5-2 win against Bosnia and a 2-2 draw at home against Germany. Liverpool provides a strong backbone to the team with Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, and Cody Gakpo, complemented by fan favorites like Xavi Simons and Jeremie Frimpong.
The Dutch have won both of their two away games this year with an impressive goal difference of 5-1. In these two games, they had an xG of 2.12 per game and only 1.14 expected goals conceded. They dominated possession with 66 percent in these two away matches.
We expect a high-scoring and entertaining game in Budapest tonight. Hungary scores well at home, and the Netherlands plays open, attacking, and entertaining football, which invites plenty of action in both penalty areas. Hungary needs points and therefore goals to keep up in the Nations League group, while it’s almost always entertaining when the Netherlands is in action. There will be goals on both sides, and at least three goals in Budapest.
