Hungary vs Estonia Prediction and Betting Tips | March 22nd 2023

Hungary will take to the pitch for the first time since the turn of the year when they lock horns with Estonia at the Puskás Aréna Park in a friendly on Wednesday.

Thomas Häberli's side head into the midweek matchup on a run of five consecutive games without a win against the home nation and will be looking to break this hoodoo.

Hungary continued their preparations for the forthcoming European Championship qualifiers as they claimed a 2-1 win over Greece last November.

This was a second consecutive warm-up friendly game for Marco Rossi’s side, who salvaged a pulsating 2-2 draw against Luxembourg in their first outing after the UEFA Nations League on November 17.

Hungary will now set out to make it two back-to-back wins over Wednesday’s visitors, following a 2-0 win in the Nations League back in November 2018.

Meanwhile, Estonia have called up a mix of youth and experience for the forthcoming fixtures, including veteran Sergei Zenjov, who has 107 caps under his belt, and Tottenham youngster Maksim Paskotši.

Häberli’s men were last in action on January 12, when they fought hard to see off Finland 1-0 in Portugal’s Estádio da Nora.

Estonia have been drawn in Group F of the European Championship qualifiers, alongside Austria and European powerhouse Belgium.
