Hungary vs Portugal: Score Prediction

Looking at the way both teams have been playing recently, anything could happen in this game. Portugal’s squad might be better than ever when it comes to star power but it has previously shown signs of low chemistry at times.

The case is the opposite with Hungary as they have thrived in team play. Even though Hungary come into this fixture as the underdogs and we all love an underdog story. 

We predict a scoreline of Hungary 1-1 Portugal. The home side advantage and recent form of Hungary might be a little too much for Portugal’s star-studded lineup.
