Hungary vs Estonia Prediction & Betting tips
This week’s UEFA Nations League match continues. The fifth game day is on the program. We take a look at the group two of league C and especially the game against Estonia. These two teams compete in the group with Finland and Greece. While the Finns are well on their way to promotion to League B, our game is against relegation to the Liga D. The Estonians are in last place of the group and can not lose against Hungary in any case, if They still want to prevent the transition to the lowest league. Is Hungary’s tip against the hosts a safe bet in Hungary’s game? All information about the game is available in our analysis. Kick-off at the Groupama Arena in Budapest is at 19:45.
Hungary:
The Hungarian national team currently occupies 55th place in the FIFA World Ranking. Thus, coach Marco Rossi’s team is not one of the “big names” in European football, although they have some well-known players in their ranks. Goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi and defensive player Willi Orban are lining up for the international match. There are also TSG Hoffenheim Adam Szalai and SC Freiburg Roland Sallai. So you have four players who earn their money in the Bundesliga and will probably be in the starting eleven on Thursday. The successes of the Hungarians in recent years are very clear. The last World Cup participation was in Mexico in 1986. Here they were eliminated already in the preliminary round. After more than 40 years, they were able to qualify for a European Championship again in 2016. In France, they even survived the preliminary round and failed in the second round with 0: 4 at the strong Belgians.
Under the new coach Marco Rossi they now go to the Nations League. After four matchdays, his team is in third place. In Greece and Finland, they conceded two 0: 1-Schlappen. The first leg against the Greeks was won 2-1. In the last game they started in Tallinn against the Estonians. The lively game ended in a goal rich 3: 3. With two goals, Adam Szalai became the savior for the Hungarians. Ten minutes before the end he managed the important compensation. The Finns lie in the group, out of reach for Hungary, in the first place in the table. The lead on the Estonians is three points. With a home defeat you could slip into last place and would be in the highest risk of relegation to the league D. With a win you would be rid of all relegation worries and could even storm past the Greeks in second place.
Estonia:
Estonia is currently number 98 in the FIFA World Ranking, putting it among nations such as India, Palestine and Madagascar. It’s no wonder that coach Martin Reim’s team are in the match between Hungary and Estonia with odds of 11.00 as clear underdogs. The squad consists of largely unknown players who all earn their money in the smaller leagues in Finland, Norway or Poland. Therefore, the successes of the Estonian national team are very clear. So far, it has never been possible to qualify for one of the big tournaments like the World Cup or European Championship. Also in the Nations League it does not go very well. The first three games were each lost 0-1. The 3: 3 against the Hungarians is already a small success. It even looked as if they could celebrate their second victory this year with ten minutes to go. In May, a 2-0 victory in the Baltic Cup against Lithuania. After that, however, put it five defeats in a row. In the table of the League of Nations, the Estonians are currently in the last group place, which would mean the descent into the league D. This can only be prevented if they surprise the Hungarians in Budapest and get three points.
