Our prediction for the Hungary vs Turkey match
The teams performed differently at Euro 2024. The Hungarians failed to reach the playoffs once again. Moreover, they started with losses to the Swiss and Germans and only managed to beat Scotland at the end, catching them on a fast break. Vincenzo Montella's team not only defeated Georgia and the Czech Republic in the group stage but also knocked out Austria in the round of 16. They led against the Dutch too, but conceded twice in the middle of the second half and fell apart.
Turkey could have performed better in the Nations League. They defeated Iceland twice and drew with Wales. They also won against Montenegro but lost to them in the last round—thus handing the first place to the Welsh quite easily. Marco Rossi's team played in Division A, facing Germany, the Netherlands, and Bosnia. They beat the underdog twice but only managed draws at home against the top teams, losing away. In Istanbul, they managed to equalize after the first goal conceded to Turkey, but Akturkoglu scored two more after the break.
Soboslai and company score an average of 0.7 goals per game, conceding 1.9 in response, but in 2024, their opponents were tough. For the visitors, the ratio is currently positive—1.7/1.1.
