UEFA Nations League: Can Hungary beat Netherlands and Germany to Reach the Quarterfinals?

With the 2024 UEFA Nations League already underway, Hungary is hoping to make it to the League A quarterfinals after winning their last game against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Hungary is currently ranking third with five points and standing level with their biggest group 3 rival Netherlands, who rank second thanks to their goal difference. As such, Marco Rossi’s side hope to secure their spot in the next phase of the UEFA Nations League by beating the Netherlands on their turn after recording a home draw in their first-leg game.

While Hungary’s confidence will be bolstered by their last win against Bosnia, they will have an uphill task beating the Netherlands at their home ground. However, the Netherlands haven’t booked a win in their last three UEFA Nations League games after recording a draw against Germany and Hungary in their first-leg meetings and losing to Germany in the second leg. That seems like good news to Hungary, but they will also face the in-form Germany in their last group-stage match.

So can Hungary beat Netherlands and Germany to make it to the next stage or will this be the end of their 2024/2025 UEFA Nations League campaign? Here are match previews and betting predictions for these two games according to the football experts on SportyTrader.

Netherlands vs Hungary Match Preview (16th November)

Netherlands is set to welcome an in-form Hungary at the Johan Cruijff ArenaA in what promises to be a thrilling UEFA Nations League fixture as both teams hope to book the crucial three points. Both the Netherlands and Hungary have five points after four games, although the Dutch side has a slight advantage. However, the Netherlands started their campaign with an impressive 5-2 victory against Bosnia.

Hungary on the other hand had a rough start in their UEFA Nations League group stage campaign after losing 5-0 against Group 3 favorites Germany. They also struggled to bounce back in their second game after struggling to score against Bosnia but shared the spoils after a goalless. That was before holding back the Netherlands to a 1-1 draw in the third game and exerted their revenge against Bosnia with a 2-0 away win. That said, betting experts recommend betting on both teams to score since another draw might be on the books for this fixture.

Hungary vs Germany match preview (19th November)

While Hungary hopes they can at least secure a draw from this fixture to increase their chances of making it to the 2024/2025 UEFA Nations League quarterfinals, Germany is the outright favorite. The Germans have recorded a strong campaign this year and they will hope to finish the group stage unbeaten. Julian Nagelsmann’s side has proven to be a formidable opponent for any team in the Nations League, with their only coming against the Netherlands in their second game.

Hungary on the other side started their group stage campaign with a humiliating loss against the Germans and they will be seeking revenge when they welcome them to the Puskas Arena Park. However, considering how Marco Rossi’s side have struggled with their finishing to record goals, betting experts predict the Germans will overwhelm them once again. That will mean Hungary might not make it to the quarterfinals if the Netherlands manages to draw or win against them and beat Bosnia in their last match.
