Hungary will host Greece at the Puskás Aréna Park in a friendly clash on Sunday ahead of the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Perhaps surprisingly based on recent form, the home nation are set to miss out on the World Cup for a ninth consecutive time after running out of steam in the qualifiers and finishing fourth in their group. They performed better in the Nations League but gave up the top spot after losing 2-0 to Italy in their final group match.
Hungary were held to a 2-2 draw by Luxembourg in their friendly clash on Thursday and will be targeting victory this weekend as they gear up for the upcoming European Championship qualifiers.
Trending
Greece began their quest for World Cup football in strong fashion but dropped off the pace in their final three group games, ultimately finishing five points behind the playoffs spot. The appointment of Uruguayan manager Gus Poyet has, however, worked wonders for the visitors as they breezed through their Nations League group, winning five of their six games.
The visitors play their final game of the year on Sunday and are looking to continue their good run of form when they take on the Hungarians.

Hungary vs Greece Prediction
Hungary are on a run of back-to-back winless outings and will be determined to bounce back here. They have, however, won just one of their last four games on home soil and could struggle in this match.
Greece, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last two games and have lost just one of their last seven encounters. They have lost just one of their last four away matches and we expect them to pick up a point here.
Prediction: Hungary 1-1 Greece
