Ukraine vs Hungary Prediction & Betting Tips

Form check for both sides

Hungary's home form looked solid through the first half of the year, with wins over Kazakhstan, Finland and Slovenia and a draw against Greece. That run was ended when Ukraine won away in Budapest last month in this same Nations League group. Elsewhere Hungary won away at Azerbaijan but lost at home to Sweden, so the results have gone both ways.

Ukraine: 6 completed matches; Hungary: 7 completed matches.

Ukraine's away form has been mixed, with wins at Poland and New Zealand but defeats away to Denmark and Canada. Their most recent away trip, though, was that win in Hungary. Their only home game in this sample, a win over Albania, is the closest thing we have to a guide for how they play in front of their own fans.

Ukraine haven't lost on home soil in this sample, though it's a small one to draw much from.

The reverse fixture

These two sides played each other just last week, in the same Nations League group. Ukraine won 1-0 away in Hungary, so they head into this return leg with a recent win already banked against this opponent. It's the only meeting we've got on record between them, so there's no long history to lean on, but it's about as fresh and relevant as recent form gets.

That result gives Ukraine a psychological edge going into the home leg, even if it was only a single goal.

A quick double-header

This fixture completes a rare fast turnaround, with the same two teams meeting twice inside a couple of weeks in the same group. Ukraine now get home advantage having already won the away leg. Hungary will want to put that right, and their earlier home form this year shows they're capable of responding when things haven't gone their way.
