Two Hungary vs Netherlands predictions
Netherlands to Win & Under 4.5 Goals (21/20 with SBK)
Hungary have failed to score in four of their last five matches, with their last goal coming in the Euros against Scotland. In the most recent international break, Hungary were beaten 5-0 by Germany and played out a 0-0 draw with Bosnia.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, won 5-2 against Bosnia in September and also played a 2-2 draw with Germany. Koeman’s side boasts an excellent away record in the UEFA Nations League, having won all of their last four on the road.
Will Orban to be Carded (4/1 with SBK)
Cody Gakpo has scored in four of his last eight international appearances.

How to watch Hungary vs Netherlands live

How both teams go into Hungary vs Netherlands
A final group stage win over Scotland nearly saw Hungary sneak into the Euro 2024 knockout phase, and they had sought to carry that momentum into their Nations League campaign, which saw an immediate reunion with Germany, who on this occasion ran out resounding 5-0 winners. Niclas Füllkrug, Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, Aleksandar Pavlovic, and Kai Havertz all breached Péter Gulácsi’s goal. They would follow that up with a goalless draw with Bosnia-Herzegovina, meaning Hungary comes into their meeting with the Netherlands having netted once across their previous four international matches.
Ronald Koeman’s men, seemingly against the odds, reached the European Championship last four. A very late Ollie Watkins strike denied them a final appearance, something they’ve not experienced in 36 years. Dusting themselves down, the Oranje were made to work by Bosnia as they secured a 5-2 success. Joshua Zirkzee, Tijani Reijnders, Cody Gakpo, Wout Weghorst, and Xavi Simons all got on the scoresheet. An entertaining four-goal thriller against rivals Germany came next. Reijnders put the hosts ahead before Deniz Undav and Joshua Kimmich turned it around for their guests. Denzel Dumfries levelled proceedings after the break, and that’s how the contest ended.
Hungary host the Netherlands at Puskás Aréna Park at 7:45pm on Friday 11th October.
Hungary team news
In the previous round of fixtures, Attila Fiola, László Kleinheisler, Ádám Lang, Callum Styles, and Attila Szalai — who all went to Euro 2020 — were missing from Hungary’s squad, which Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai still leads.
Netherlands team news
There’s no place for would-be record Dutch national team scorer Memphis Depay, who recently completed a transatlantic move to Brazilian outfit Corinthians. Steven Bergwijn dropped out after he joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad. Justin Kluivert, the son of Patrick, will seek a third international cap, with his most recent coming six years ago.
