Netherlands vs Hungary prediction and betting tips on November 16, 2024
Game Prediction
On November 16, 2024, the Netherlands will face Hungary in a critical UEFA Nations League clash, as both teams vie for the second spot in their group. A victory is essential for either side.
Prediction for Netherlands vs Hungary
The "Oranje" squad had a promising World Cup run but started 2023 on a less impressive note. They managed to secure a Euro spot, ultimately falling to England in the semifinals. Hungary also qualified for the Euros, but after losses to Switzerland and Germany, they barely scraped by with a last-minute win against Scotland—still not enough to reach the knockout rounds.
Despite Hungary's struggles, Marco Rossi retained his position. After a crushing 0-5 loss to Germany in their Nations League opener, Hungary rebounded, drawing 1-1 at home against the Dutch (with the Netherlands equalizing in the final minutes, despite being down to 10 men), and earning four out of six points in two matches against Bosnia.
Under Koeman, the Netherlands have struggled to compete with Germany, managing only a single point in their two meetings. Nearly defeated in Budapest, the Dutch did, however, rout Bosnia in their opening match. Now, they still have a solid chance to secure second place and a playoff spot—if they can win at home.
