Ireland vs Hungary Prediction & Tips
Ireland’s national team enters a new qualifying cycle with optimism after a positive finish to previous competitions. Heimir Hallgrímsson’s side avoided relegation from League B in the Nations League, beating Bulgaria in the play-offs, and have now gone four consecutive matches without defeat. Despite numerous draws, the team is playing a structured game and the return of several key players has boosted fans’ confidence.
Hungary come into this match on the back of a prolonged crisis, but with a glimmer of hope after beating Azerbaijan in a friendly. Marco Rossi’s team is extremely shaky: only three wins in the last 14 games, elimination from Euro 2024 and a humiliating defeat against Turkey in the Nations League. However, the presence of leaders like Szoboszlai and Orbán gives reason to hope for an improvement in results in the short term.
