Team Russia.

Russia welcome Hungary in this UEFA Nations League (UNL) Group B3 fixture, having lost just one of their last 12 competitive outings (W10, D1), while finding the net on each occasion. Goals have been a common theme in Russia’s competitive matches recently, with all but one of their previous seven such fixtures producing over 3.5 goals. Netting first could be the hosts’ key to victory, as all but one of their last 27 competitive home fixtures to see a winner (90 minutes) saw the victorious side on the day score first. Usually strong from the off, Russia have not conceded before the hour mark in each of their last four home UNL matches.

Team Hungary.

There should be a winner one way or another, as Hungary are on a run of 16 consecutive international matches without a single draw (W9, L7). Fans should expect a lively start here, as the opener has been netted by the 20th minute in all but one of the last eight above-mentioned matches. Looking for their first-ever competitive victory against Russia (D0, L3), Hungary are in a hungry mood after registering three straight competitive away wins. This game could be a tight clash though, as each of Hungary’s last five UNL away fixtures have been settled by a one- goal margin or ended level, with four producing a 1-0 scoreline either way.
