Serbia vs Hungary Prediction & Betting tips
Serbia and Hungary came into action last Thursday in the battle for the last European Championship tickets. This was successful in both countries, but which of these two winners is able to continue that line this week?
Serbia:
Serbia got off to a weak start in the Nations League this season. Although the team with players such as Filip Kostic, Aleksandar Kolarov, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Luka Jovic has a lot of international experience, they did not win twice. In the first match, Ljubisa Tumbakovic’s team was totally outclassed by the Russians. The Russian captain hit the goal twice and a goal from Mitrovic could not change much. A false start for the Serbs in the Nations League. The second game was also not won. The Serbian team is a bit known for having a lot of commentary on the match management and that was also evident in the match against Turkey. Captain Kolarov received a yellow card in the 47th and 49th minute, leaving Serbia with one man less. In the end, the game ended in 0-0.
Last Thursday, Serbia came into action for the last European Championship tickets. In the semi-final, the Serbs had to compete against Erling Haaland’s Norway. The level was not too high and there were opportunities for both teams. The game only broke open when the national coach Sergej Millinkovic-Savic brought in. In the 80th minute, the Lazio midfielder came in and a minute later he shot in the 1-0. Just before the final signal – also a substitute – Mathias Normann made the equalizer. The clubs entered the extension. In extra time, Dusan Tadic took a free kick, which was again shot in by Milinkovic-Savic. The 25-year-old midfielder scored his first two international goals, bringing the Scots to the Red Star stadium in an all-deciding final round to battle out who can go to the European Championship.
Hungary:
The Hungarian team came second in the first edition of the Nations League in a group with Finland, Greece and Estonia. This promoted the team to Division B. In Hungary, the Nations League started with a victory. In the match against Turkey, not too much exciting happened until about the 80th minute. Hungary got a free kick almost from their own half and Dominik Szoboszlai went behind the ball. From about forty meters he rushed the ball into the goal and the 19-year-old talent left goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir no chance. When Russia came to visit the Puskas Arena, it didn’t seem too much left of faded Hungary. After 46 minutes, Marco Rossi’s team was 0-3 behind. Thanks to hits from Roland Sallai and Nemanja Nikolics, the Hungarians came back to 2-3, but it didn’t get further than this.
That defeat was disappointing, but the game that was played last Thursday was of much more importance. The European Championship qualifying match against Bulgaria was played in Sofia. The winner would face Iceland in November for a European Championship ticket. It soon became apparent that Hungary would advance to that final. RB Leipzig defender Willi Orban opened the score, while Zsolt Kalmár and Nemanja Nikolics managed to extend this lead to 0-3. In the end, the Bulgarians scored a connection goal in the final minutes, but a victory for the Hungarian national team was never really in danger.
