Hungary and Kosovo will be in action on Tuesday (March 26) when they go head-to-head in a friendly at the Puskas Arena.
Liverpool man Dominik Szoboszlai came up clutch for Hungary, netting a second-half penalty to hand them a slender 1-0 victory over Turkey in Budapest on Friday. That was in keeping with their outstanding outing in their 2024 European Championship qualifiers, where they enjoyed an unbeaten campaign, claiming 18 points from eight games to win Group G.
Hungary have been drawn in Group A of Euro 2024, alongside Scotland, Switzerland and four-time world champions Germany.
Kosovo, meanwhile, turned in a resilient performance last time out, securing a 1-0 victory over Armenia at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium om Friday.
That followed a disappointing outing in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, where they finished fifth in Group I after picking up 11 points from 10 games. Kosovo are unbeaten in five friendlies, winning two since 2-0 loss to Jordan in November 2021.
