Hungary meet Finland in Budapest on Friday, and both sides arrive with a bit of frustration after missing out on World Cup qualification. The Magyars ended third in their group, while the Eagle-owls finished in the same position behind Portugal and Ireland. On paper, the home side look stronger, and most markets reflect that. Still, this is a friendly, so Marco Rossi’s team and Finland’s coach may use it to test ideas ahead of the Nations League in September. That uncertainty opens the door to a few angles worth considering.

Hungary

Hungary team overview

Hungary enter this clash looking to extend their momentum after recording a highly disciplined 0-0 draw against Greece in their previous outing.

The Magyars are playing with high tactical synchronization as Marco Rossi’s side aims to string together three straight positive results. That stalemate stretched their current undefeated run to two international fixtures following a 1-0 win over Slovenia. They have lost only one of the last six across all competitions.

This defensive durability is particularly evident in their recent home form, with Marco Rossi's men currently protecting a two-match unbeaten streak at the Puskás Aréna and have lost only one of the last four.

The undisputed keyman anchoring the roster is talismanic midfielder and captain Dominik Szoboszlai, who dictates the tempo and has accumulated over 45 senior caps.

In terms of selection news, Hungary enjoys a completely healthy squad, allowing the manager to hand a debut to newly called-up forward Damir Redzic.

Finland

Finland team overview

Finland come into this one needing something steadier at the back. The 4-0 loss to Germany still feels heavy, and it showed a side that can get stretched far too easily when the pressure builds. The Huuhkajat have now slipped into a four-match losing run, and it is starting to look less like a blip and more like a pattern, especially away from home.

Jacob Friis has work to do, though it is not all broken. Lukas Hradecky still holds things together as captain and goalkeeper, and his experience, over 100 caps now, matters more than it might look on paper. Without him, the structure feels a bit unsure.

There are a few injury concerns in attack, nothing dramatic but enough to complicate selection. On the brighter side, Adam Markhiyev has been brought in, which might not change everything immediately, though it does hint at a quiet rebuild in progress.

Prediction

Hungary’s attack has looked sharp enough to punish most sides lately. Finland, on the other hand, arrive with a defence that has taken a real beating, conceding eight goals across their last two games. That kind of contrast is hard to ignore, especially in Budapest where the Magyars usually control the rhythm quite comfortably. Still, it is football, and sometimes these mismatches do not play out as cleanly as expected.

You might lean toward a fairly one-sided result, perhaps even comfortably so for the home crowd. However, Hungary’s games often open up once they push forward, with five of their last nine going beyond 2.5 goals. That does leave a small window for Finland to sneak something late, maybe on a counter or a set piece when concentration dips.

Four reasons we expect over 2.5 goals

  1. Hungary scored 2+ goals in six of their last nine matches.
  2. Finland shipped eight goals in their last two games alone.
  3. Five of the last nine games of Hungary produced over 2.5 goals.
  4. Finland are without a clean sheet in 10 matches.
