Georgia vs Hungary prediction: team news, lineups, expert analysis
On November 14, 2026, Georgia and Hungary will meet in round 5 of UEFA Nations League League B. The visitors will be looking to claim all three points.
Georgia vs Hungary: team news and expert analysis
Georgia made their European Championship debut in 2024 and even reached the knockout stage. But they only retained their place in League B after winning a relegation play-off against neighboring Armenia. Now they are struggling badly. They drew 0-0 at home to Ukraine and away to Northern Ireland, and lost their other two matches. To make matters worse, their No. 1 star, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, suffered a serious injury.
Hungary have been regulars at the European Championship, but once again failed to qualify for the World Cup. They were viewed as favorites in this group, but started with a home defeat to Ukraine and a 0-0 draw in Northern Ireland. They have since turned things around with back-to-back wins.
The Caucasus side score just 0.8 goals per game and concede 1.1. Marco Rossi's men average 1.2 goals scored and 0.7 conceded per match.

The hosts are considered favorites. But they have failed to improve even after changing coaches, and now Khvicha is sidelined too. Our pick is for the visitors to avoid defeat (odds – 1.60).
