Hungary vs Iceland Predictions

• Hungary have won three and drawn one of their five outings in 2020, including a 1-3 success at Bulgaria in the Semi-Final.
• Iceland have lost four of their last five matches, conceding 12 goals in the process.
• The visitors have won just two of their last 14 away internationals, with those victories earned against lowly Moldova and Andorra.

Hungarians Have the Momentum

Hungary can enjoy the perfect end to a decent 2020 this Thursday when they entertain Iceland in Budapest.

Marco Rossi’s side have been impressive in winning three and drawing one of their five matches since September, including a consummate 1-3 success over Bulgaria last month which secured their place in this crucial final Play-Off tie.

With a coveted berth in next summer’s tournament at stake, Hungary are clearly the side with momentum behind them and that will be vital here against an Iceland outfit who have struggled on the main since the resumption of international football two months ago.

Erik Hamren’s charges toughed out a 2-1 win at home to Romania to reach this Thursday’s showdown in Budapest, but they’ve been hopelessly outclassed and leaking goals left, right and centre in their Nations League fixtures.

Iceland have lost all four games in that sphere for the concession of 11 goals and they travel to Puskas Arena having won just two of their last 14 internationals on the road. Those victories came against minnows Andorra and Moldova, so the surprise packages of Euro 2016 simply can’t be fancied to return to the big stage this time around.

We’re backing Hungary at generous odds to bank their passage to the finals within 90 minutes and 2-0 is our correct score prediction.
