Hungary host the Netherlands at Budapest’s Puskas Arena on Friday night on matchday three of the Nations League.
After a 5–0 hammering away to Germany and a home draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary are under some pressure coming into this match. Widely tipped as the dark horses before last summer’s Euros, the Mighty Magyars are at threat of Nations League relegation.
After earning promotion in each of the first two editions of the Nations League, Hungary are one of the weaker teams in the top section of the competition.
The Netherlands smashed Bosnia and Herzegovina 5-2 and played out an exciting 2-2 draw with Germany. A positive result here could see them move to the top of the group if Germany drop points in Zenica.
Ronald Koeman has made some significant changes to his squad, some by choice and some due to necessity. Noa Lang, Jerdy Schouten, Teun Koopmeiners, and Nathan Ake are among those to miss out.
Hungary probable XI: Dibusz; Botka, Orban, Dardai; Bolla, Nikitscher, Schafer, Nagy; Sallai, Varga, Szoboszlai.
Netherlands probable XI: Verbruggen; Dumfries, Van Dijk, van de Ven, Maatsen; Reijnders, Gravenberch; Kluivert, Simons, Gakpo; Brobbey.
