Hungary vs Portugal prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Euro 2020

Hungary are set to play Portugal at the Ferenc Puskas Stadium on Tuesday in the group stage of the UEFA Euro 2020.

Hungary come into this game on the back of a 0-0 draw against Stephen Kenny's Republic of Ireland last Tuesday in an international friendly game. Hungary had six shots on target compared to Republic of Ireland's one, but were unable to find the net.

Portugal, on the other hand, beat Willibald Ruttensteiner's Israel 4-0 on Thursday in a friendly fixture. A brace from Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes and goals from Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo ensured victory for Fernando Santos' Portugal.

Hungary vs Portugal Prediction

Hungary will surely miss Dominik Szoboszlai, who played a crucial role in ensuring the participation of his country at Euro 2020. In his absence the contributions of Adam Szalai will be key, and it will be an incredible feat if they manage to progress to the next round given the quality of the nations in their group.

Portugal, on the other hand, are among the favourites to win the tournament. They have talent and quality in every position, and are led by a bonafide superstar in the form of Cristiano Ronaldo. A lot is expected from Portugal at Euro 2020.

Portugal will be favourites to win this game.

Prediction: Hungary 0-3 Portugal
