After two high-scoring contests in September, the Netherlands have a lot to live up to entertainment-wise when they head to Budapest for Friday's UEFA Nations League clash with Hungary.
Netherlands:
The Netherlands head to Budapest on Friday aiming to build on their thrilling September displays in the UEFA Nations League. Despite a Euro 2024 semi-final loss to England, Ronald Koeman's team bounced back, hammering Bosnia-Herzegovina 5-0 and then drawing 2-2 in a high-stakes clash with Germany. Currently second in League A Group 3 due to goal difference, Oranje remain on track for the quarter-finals and are hungry for their first major title since Euro 1988. The Netherlands have a strong Nations League away record, winning their last four road games with multiple goals scored, a trend they'll look to continue against Hungary.
Hungary:
Hungary, meanwhile, are struggling to find form in their second consecutive League A campaign. Following a dismal 5-0 defeat to Germany and a scoreless draw with Bosnia-Herzegovina, Marco Rossi's side sits at the bottom of Group 3. Their goal drought and overall performance leave them facing the threat of relegation back to League B. However, the Magyars boast an impressive home run, with nine wins and two draws from their last 11 matches. They'll need to rely on that home strength to challenge the Netherlands, a side they haven't faced since a heavy 8-1 loss in 2013.
Prediction: 0-2
