Luxembourg vs Hungary
International Friendly Match
Date: Thursday, 9th November 2017
Kick-off at 19:00 UK/ 20:00 CET
Venue: Stade Josy Barthel, Luxembourg City.

Luxembourg is arguably one of the tiniest nation in the football globe and must be surprised by looking at their recent results. The team earned wins against Belarus and Albania to go with price-less draws against France and Bulgaria to finish off their World Cup qualification campaign.

However, their usual vulnerability was exposed in the 8-0 drubbing from the hands of Sweden. And it is an understatement that teams like these with little resources hardly manage carry over good run for prolonged periods.

Hungary had a good run at the Euro 2016 and showed some fearless attitude until they were knocked out by Belgium. Now, coming into the World Cup qualifiers, they were given little chance to progress from a group that contains Portugal and Switzerland. Yet, one must have expected some strong performances from the magical Magyar.

The team not only failed, but their campaign could be summarized as disastrous. The underwhelming 1-0 home win against a lowly Faroe Islands sealed the fate of Bernd Storck.

He is replaced by the experienced Belgian coach Georges Leekens with an aiming for building a stable team for the Euro 2018. Leekens retained majority of the players that impressed under Strock and in-short there is little change in playing personal.

Luxembourg vs Hungary: Predictions

This is a huge mismatch on paper and so do we expect things to happen in the field. Moreover, with a new manager in charge the Hungarian players will be eager to impress to cement their places for the upcoming major tournaments.

Hoffenheim striker Adam Szalai is one of the major names missing for Hungary here and this leave us with Tamas Priskin as an established forward. As the Hungarians are expected to dominate the game we can back Priskin as a major candidate to score anytime during the game.
