Hungary vs Switzerland Predictions & Match Preview

Hungary vs Switzerland Prediction

Stakes will be high for both Hungary and Switzerland on Saturday as they take on each other in a big first-round match at Cologne Stadium. A defeat here would push the losing team into an abyss given hosts Germany are also in this section.

• Switzerland put eight goals past Hungary in two wins against them in the 2018 World Cup qualifying process.
• Switzerland have five wins, one draw, and one defeat in the previous seven meetings with Magyarok.
• Both teams were on target in all but one of the previous five head-to-head outings.

Hungary enter their third straight Euros and they qualified for this edition in some style, going unbeaten in eight matches in Group G. The Magyars have managed five wins and three draws along the way. The run includes two wins over direct rivals for the top of the qualifying group Serbia.

Switzerland have been far less impressive during the qualifying campaign. They occupied the second place with just four wins in ten outings despite facing the likes of Romania, Israel, Belarus, Kosovo, and Andorra in the process.

Hungary vs Switzerland Predicted Lineups

Hungary (3-4-2-1): Gulacsi – Szalai, Lang, Orban – Nego, Schafer, Nagy, Kerkez – Sallai, Szoboszlai – Varga

Switzerland (3-4-2-1): Sommer – Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez – Widmer, Freuler, Xhaka, Ndoye – Shaqiri, Vargas – Amdouni

Hungary and Switzerland to Share the Spoils

Hungary started the Euro preparations with a shocking 1-2 defeat at the hands of Republic of Ireland. Nevertheless, they bounced back by claiming a commanding 3-0 victory over Israel last Saturday. Barnabas Varga starred with a brace, while Roland Sallai added a goal and an assist on the occasion.

The Hungarians have lost just 1 of the last 16 matches in all competitions. We can by no means consider them underdogs against a team that failed to pick up more than four victories in ten qualifying matches in a fairly easy section.

Switzerland drew 1-1 to Austria in a tight match in their final pre-tournament check seven days ago. La Nati won only two of the last eight affairs across competitions. We will back Hungary not to lose at the 1.61 odds.

Value is in backing BTTS

The value is also decent with the Both Teams to Score pick at the 1.90 odds. Hungary scored at least a goal in eleven successive games in all competitions. Switzerland have notched six goals in their previous three friendlies. Lastly, four of the previous five head-to-head matches between these outfits provided goals at both ends.
