Republic of Ireland vs Hungary Prediction and Betting Tips | June 4th 2024

The Republic of Ireland will face Hungary at the Aviva Stadium on Tuesday in a friendly clash between the two teams. After a disappointing European Championship qualifying campaign last year, the home side have turned their attention to the upcoming UEFA Nations League and will continue their preparations for the tournament this week.

They suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Switzerland last time out, falling behind midway through the first half and failing to find a way back into the game despite an improved second-half showing.

Hungary, meanwhile, are set to make their third consecutive Euro appearance in Germany this summer and will finalize their preparations for the tournament this week. They beat Kosovo 2-0 in their last match, with Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai opening the scoring early after the restart before Zsolt Nagy doubled their advantage late in the game.

Following Tuesday's game, the visitors will face Israel in another friendly outing before kicking off their continental campaign against Switzerland in two weeks.

Republic of Ireland vs Hungary Prediction

Ireland are on a four-game winless streak and have won just one of their last eight games across all competitions. They are without a win in their last five games on home soil and could struggle here.

Hungary, meanwhile, are on a three-game winning streak and are undefeated in their last 14 matches. They are in much better form than their opponents ahead of Tuesday's game and should come out on top here.

Prediction: Ireland 0-2 Hungary
