Hungary vs Georgia

Hungary enters this fixture with a mixed recent record, having secured three wins in their six most recent matches but failing to win since defeating Kazakhstan in June. Their home form has seen them win three times while suffering one defeat in their last five matches at this venue. In their latest outings, they were beaten by Ukraine before playing out a goalless draw against Northern Ireland. Georgia has also struggled to find momentum, managing two wins and three draws across their last six matches. They have found away matches challenging, losing four of their five most recent fixtures on their travels, with their only victory in that sequence coming against Lithuania in March. Their most recent matches saw them suffer a defeat to Northern Ireland followed by a goalless draw against Ukraine.

• Hungary has proven more clinical in the second half, scoring four times compared to two goals before the break.
• Georgia has struggled defensively in the second half of matches, conceding three times while only scoring once in that period across their recent games.
• Hungary maintains a slight edge in possession across their recent matches, whereas Georgia has seen an even share of the ball.
• Both sides occupy the bottom two spots in the league table, each with one point from two matches and identical goal records.

With both teams currently struggling for form and sitting at the bottom of the table, this fixture presents a challenging test for both sides. Hungary has shown a stronger capacity to find the net in the second half of matches, which could be the deciding factor against a Georgia side that has been vulnerable after the interval. While there is little to separate the two based on their recent league results, the home advantage at the Puskás Aréna may give Hungary a slight edge in this contest.

No absences were reported for either squad.
