Hungary vs Portugal: no surprises?
Hungary have never beaten Portugal, but are they capable of creating a sensation on June 15? Find the answer in our prediction below.

Command Analysis

Hungary

The Hungarian national team had a relatively easy group in the qualification for Euro 2020: the team of Marco Rossi competed for a ticket to the tournament against Croatia, Wales, Slovakia, and Azerbaijan. In general, the Magical Magyars looked good at the start, but failed the finish of the qualification, finishing in fourth place, only two points behind Wales in the second position.
Nevertheless, the Hungarians had a chance to make their way to Euro 2020 through the League of Nations. In the semifinals of the playoffs, Hungary easily beat Bulgaria 3:1, and in the decisive game scored a strong-willed 2:1 victory over Iceland. Both goals were scored at the very end of the game.
In qualification for the World Cup, Hungary decently played in three rounds. A 3:3 draw with Poland and two victories over Andorra (4:1) and San Marino (3:0) allowed the Mighty Magyars to rise to second place in the table. However, the matches against England and Albania are still ahead, so it is too early to name the Hungarians the clear favourites of the group.

Portugal

The Portuguese national team was considered the clear favorite in the qualification for the European Championship. The Portuguese had to compete with Ukraine, Serbia, Luxembourg, and Lithuania for a ticket to Euro 2020. However, contrary to all predictions, Portugal almost failed to qualify. The team of Fernando Santos finished second, ahead of Serbia only by three points.
In the League of Nations, Portugal looked decent - in the same group as France, Croatia, and Sweden, Portugal competed for the top position. In the end, they finished second, behind the leaders, France, by just three points. Croatia in third place was at the distance of 10 points.
Serbia and Luxembourg again were matched in the same group with Portugal for the World Cup qualifications. Ireland and Azerbaijan also compete in this group. Following the results of the first three rounds, Portugal is leading with seven points in the asset, but Serbia is behind only on goal difference, so for the Portuguese, the fight is not over yet.

Tip and bets
The Portuguese found themselves in the «group of death» along with Hungary, France, and Germany. The team that will lose points in the game against the Hungarians can also lose a ticket to the playoffs - it is unlikely that Santos' men want such kind of trouble.
Portugal have an advantage in class, they gained excellent form and do not have serious personnel losses - the hosts won't avoid defeat.
Our prediction -Asian handicap (-1) to Portugal
The Portuguese national team is the undisputed favorite and will play accordingly - they will be active in attack. Hungary are not famous for reliable defense and won't be able to keep a clean sheet, but can score a goal on a counterattack.
Our second bet - total over 2.5 goals.
For those who prefer high odds, we offer a bet - Portugal to win by two goals.
