Hungary
1 : 0
Georgia
UEFA Nations League
The two national teams have met only once in the current Nations League campaign, with Hungary claiming a narrow 1-0 victory in Budapest a month ago.
That encounter was relatively tight, with Georgia struggling to translate their attacking possession into clear-cut opportunities. Hungary ultimately secured all three points, giving them a psychological advantage heading into the return fixture.
Georgia team overview
Georgia have struggled considerably in this Nations League campaign, failing to score in four consecutive matches against Northern Ireland, Hungary and Ukraine. Although they have not performed particularly poorly, recording two draws against Northern Ireland and Ukraine, they are yet to score in this campaign, underlining their severe offensive problems.
Head coach Ramaz Svanadze will also have to manage some important absences. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains unavailable following a long-term injury sustained against Barcelona in the Champions League. Furthermore, midfielder Giorgi Kochorashvili is suspended for Saturday's encounter.
Georges Mikautadze, who has scored eight goals in 18 Nations League appearances, will be particularly important in the absence of Kvaratskhelia.

Hungary team overview
Hungary have enjoyed a considerably better campaign, collecting seven points from their opening four fixtures. Marco Rossi's men have won their last two Nations League matches, beating Saturday’s opponent Georgia 1-0 before recording an impressive 2-1 away victory against Ukraine.
Their defensive performances have also been encouraging, keeping clean sheets against both Georgia and Northern Ireland.
Rossi has included 27 players in his latest squad, with Attila Szalai returning alongside Roland Sallai and Barnabás Varga following their respective injury recoveries. However, Alex Toth and Tamás Szűcs are unavailable through injury, while Donát Bárány is not yet fully fit.

Prediction
Georgia's four consecutive Nations League matches without scoring are particularly concerning, while Hungary have won their last two encounters in the competition. The hosts will undoubtedly benefit from home advantage, but missing Kvaratskhelia is a significant setback against an opponent that has demonstrated considerably better defensive organisation.
Prediction: Hungary to Win.
Three reasons we expect Hungary to Win
- Hungary have won their last two Nations League matches, demonstrating better recent form and consistency than Georgia.
- Georgia have failed to score in all four of their Nations League matches so far, highlighting their significant attacking problems.
- Hungary won the reverse fixture 1-0 in October against Georgia and have a stronger overall squad, with more established attacking options and international experience.
