Group G Giants Collide: Hungary and Serbia’s Battle for Supremacy
Key Stats
– Both teams have found the net in Serbia’s previous four games.
– Hungary have only conceded once in their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
As the Euro 2024 qualifiers approach their climax, Friday night will witness a scintillating contest between Group G heavyweights, Hungary and Serbia, at the majestic Puskas Arena. With both teams vying for the top spot, the stakes have never been higher.
Hungary: The Unbeaten Dark Horse
Hungary are currently relishing an unbeaten run in Group G with three victories and a solitary draw to their name. Marco Rossi’s men kicked off their campaign with an authoritative 3-0 victory against Bulgaria. However, in what was expected to be another win, they were held to a stalemate by Montenegro, even though they dominated with more than 70% ball possession. Their prowess was evident when they swiftly recovered, beating Lithuania 2-0 and later snatching a crucial 2-1 win against Serbia. Varga and Orban’s swift goals within three minutes were particularly commendable.

Despite being level on points with Serbia, Hungary have the luxury of a game in hand. Hence, a win or even a draw will bolster their chances of maintaining pole position in Group G. Their recent performances on the road have also been promising, especially the resounding 4-0 triumph against England in the UEFA Nations League.
Serbia: The Pressure to Bounce Back
Serbia’s journey, managed by Dragan Stojkovic, began on a promising note with back-to-back wins against Lithuania and Montenegro. Their prowess in front of goal was evident as they netted four times without conceding. However, the narrative changed when Bulgaria held them to a 1-1 draw, a game in which Serbia salvaged a point only in the dying moments thanks to Lazovic. Their subsequent clash with Hungary led to a 2-1 defeat, adding more pressure to their campaign. Their recent 3-1 victory against Lithuania, thanks to Mitrovic’s first-half hat-trick, was a breath of fresh air, but the clash against Hungary could be decisive.
Tactical Analysis & Key Players
Hungary’s tactical setup, a 3-4-2-1 formation, leans heavily on their offensive trio of Sallai, Szoboszlai, and Varga. The combined tally of four goals from these players signifies their importance. Their defence, led by Lang, Szalai, and Orban, has been almost impervious, with the team conceding just once in the qualifiers.
On the Serbian side, while they boast considerable attacking firepower, their defence has looked shaky, having failed to register a clean sheet in their last three outings. Mitrovic, having scored a rapid hat-trick against Lithuania, is the player to watch out for.
Predictions:
- Result Prediction: Given Hungary’s form, a win for them seems plausible. Moreover, Hungary’s undefeated streak and their recent triumph over Serbia gives them a psychological edge. Therefore, the Both Teams to Score and Win market leans towards Hungary.
- Correct Score Prediction: Given Hungary’s tight defence and Serbia’s potent attack, a score of 2-1 in favour of Hungary appears plausible.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Mitrovic, with his recent hat-trick, is a prime candidate to find the back of the net for Serbia. On the Hungarian side, Varga, leading their goal charts, is a likely scorer.
- Corner Prediction: Analysing the stats, both teams average around 4 corners per game. Thus, predicting a total of 8-10 corners in the game seems accurate, with Hungary edging out Serbia based on recent form.
