Match Prediction- Austria vs Denmark Betting Odds and Match Prediction
Securing three valuable points on the first matchday, and outplaying a limp England side, sets them up nicely for a tough trio of fixtures in the coming days, as Hungary now play traditional heavyweights Italy and Germany before visiting Wembley, the scene of one of their nation’s most famed sporting moments. Under Rossi – who has worked his way up the coaching ranks, having taken the helm at a succession of Italian minnows including Lumezzane, Pro Patria, and Cavese, before a move to Budapest club Honved later led to his appointment as Magyars’ manager – the Hungarians have been on an upward curve for some time now.
Not only did they show up well in Euro 2020’s ‘Group of Death’ – holding Germany and France to draws but still bowing out before the knockout stage – Hungary only narrowly missed out on a playoff place for the World Cup and have won four of their last five games. Arriving in Emilia-Romagna on the back of a long-awaited win over England at the weekend, Hungary is likely to prove no pushovers in a challenging group – even at League A level.

It was more with trepidation than expectation that Italy welcomed old rivals Germany to Bologna on Saturday night, at the start of their third Nations League campaign, as events over the past few months had brought the Euro 2020 winners back down to earth after the heady success of last summer. The Azzurri not only missed out on World Cup qualification due to a humbling playoff defeat against North Macedonia during the spring, but they were also heavily beaten by Argentina in the high-profile ‘Finalissima’ last Wednesday.
Italy finished first in their 2020-21 Nations League group ahead of the Netherlands and Poland, qualifying for the tournament’s finals, where they were eliminated in the semis by Spain and then claimed the minor consolation of third place by beating Belgium. As a transitional squad does not have the focus of this winter’s World Cup to aim for – and a few weeks off during December could be in prospect – the Italians can therefore tackle their latest group at full tilt. In a section also featuring England and Tuesday’s wildcard opponents, though, repeating their previous feats is perhaps a tall task.

With a motivated squad that, once convened, becomes more than the sum of its parts, Hungary are capable of achieving several ‘surprise’ results in Group 3, and could upset the established order once again on Tuesday. Italy will be hurting after their humbling in the Finalissima and will need to kick off their transition on the right note. The likes of Sandro Tonali and Alessandro Bastoni represent a new generation of Azzurri talent and will need to make the most of their opportunities.
Their more illustrious counterparts may have had a radical makeover, but Italy still look short of confidence in the final third, so expect a low-scoring encounter, which could end all square. Hungary are perfectly capable of pulling off an upset on their day and will look to keep their hold of the group’s top spot. Italy are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
Italy 2-0 Hungary, as predicted by us.
