Hungary will entertain Czechia at the Puskás Aréna Park in an international friendly on Sunday.
The hosts recorded a 2-1 win over Serbia in their UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier on Thursday, with Barnabás Varga and Willi Orbán scoring two minutes apart to overturn a one-goal deficit. Attila Szalai's own goal gave Serbia the lead in the 10th minute but Hungary managed to retain their unbeaten record with a comeback win.
The visitors also maintained their unbeaten run in the European qualifiers as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Albania on Thursday. Václav Černý's goal, assisted by Tomáš Souček, was allowed after a VAR check which was canceled out by Nedim Bajrami's goal just 10 minutes later.
Both teams will look to sign off for the international break with a win and are expected to produce a strong display.
