Hungary Euro 2020/2021 Odds, Predictions & Squad

Hungary has a rich football history, having reached third place in 1964 and fourth in 1972 in the respective European championships. After a decline of several decades, it has bounced back, qualifying for top European competitions. Bookmakers give a long shot to the Magyars at winning the tournament, with odds around 251.00 (250/1). Still, there can be several opportunities to wager on Marco Rossi’s team, which we are about to explore. With Roland Sallai and Ádám Nagy as the main forces, it is not unlikely for Hungary to cause some major upsets.

At Bookmakers.bet, we review the Hungary Euro 2020 squad, the match schedule and the tactics preferred by the Magyars. The odds we display are constantly updated from hand-picked sportsbooks. Head-to-head and outright prices for the ‘’Group of death’’, including France, Germany, and Portugal, are also laid out.

Hungary Euro 2021 Odds & Predictions 

Most bookies have Hungary as the least likely team to win Euro 2020, with odds starting at 251.00 to 500.00 (499/1). That stems from the fact that aside from a few players, most of the Euro 2020 Hungary team plays in the weak Hungarian League. Moreover, they are not experienced at an elite level. The squad struggled to go past the playoffs of the qualifiers as it beat Iceland in November 2020 with 2-1, thanks to two late goals.

You might wonder, can a dark horse like the UEFA Euro 2020 Hungary be competitive? Given that it will play two games in Budapest, it can give the favorites a rough time. However, the three opponents in the group, France, Germany and Portugal, will be very hard to surmount. There could be some value in Hungary surprising Portugal in the opening game while playing at home. Odds for a win or a draw fluctuate around 5.50 and 3.75, respectively.

Hungary Euro 2020 Fixtures & Schedule

The Hungary group in Euro 2020 is the most competitive of the tournament. World Cup holders France, defending Euro champions Portugal and three-time winners Germany make up some serious threat. The only advantage for the Magyars in Group F seems to be the Puskás Aréna. The matches against Portugal and France will take place there, and that could give a much-needed boost. Hungary’s odds at winning the group are a high 23.00 (22/1), while for second place, it drops to 8.50 (15/2).

The real value, however, could hide in a qualification bet. The Euro 2020 structure allows the best four third-placed teams to move to the knockout stage. Hence, if Hungary manages to score a victory in one of the two games at home, it will have a good chance at moving past the groups. The odds for Hungary to go past the group stage is 4.50 (7/2).

Hungary vs. France	19th June 2021 / 15:00 CET	Puskás Aréna, Budapest

Should Hungary qualify for the Round of 16, you can also check all the possible pairings from the remaining Groups.

Hungary's Group Place	Last-16 Probable Opponents
1st	3rd place Group A (Italy, Turkey, Wales, Switzerland) / 3rd place Group B (Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Russia) / 3rd place Group C (Netherlands, Ukraine, Austria, North Macedonia)
2nd	Winner Group D (England, Croatia, Scotland, Czech Republic)
3rd*	Winner Group B (Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Russia) / Winner Group C (Netherlands, Ukraine, Austria, North Macedonia)

*If Group F gives one of the best 3rd-placed teams to advance to the Last-16.

If you believe that the Magyars have a shot at moving past, your best guess is to bet on finishing as one of the best four third-placed teams. France, Portugal and Germany are too strong to overcome, and Hungary’s best chance is a third-place finish. While even that might seem like a stretch, it is not impossible.

✔️Our prediction: The selection with the highest value is Hungary to qualify from Group F. You can find it at 4.50 (7/2) odds. In such a tough group, a qualification to the Round of 16 will be an enormous success.

What odds & bets bookies offer for Hungary 

In terms of betting, the most realistic question is if Hungary can repeat Euro 2016. Back then, it took advantage of a pretty moderate group in difficulty and qualified for the Round of 16. This time, however, is different, as it will face giants of European football in Group F. For Hungary to qualify, certain conditions must be fulfilled.

The driving force of the squad is Ádám Nagy (44 caps, one goal). A tireless defensive midfielder is a connecting tissue between Hungarian lines. A regular at Bristol City, he has not missed an international game in the last few years. He also carries the experience of participating in Euro 2016, and that could be proven crucial in crunch moments.

Roland Sallai (22 caps, four goals) is the rising star of Hungarian football. A gifted winger with an ability to score goals will play a huge part in the team's attacking line. Coming from a successful season in SC Freiburg, he aims to trouble the opponent's defense. Sallai was not a member of the final Euro 2016 selection, and this tournament is his chance to shine.

✔️Our prediction: Hungary will play at home in the first match against Portugal. That can give an excellent boost to the team to go for the double chance of 1X. You can find that selection at 2.20 (6/5) odds. 

Hungary Euro 2020/2021 Lineup & Tactics 

Our latest recommendations are based on the UEFA Euro 2020 Hungary player’s recent form, both domestically and internationally. Moreover, we consider the latest news about injuries, absences and the newest call-ups. We also provide you the lineup, squad and most probable tactics followed by the Magyars.

The Squad 

Marco Rossi waited until the last day for Dominik Szoboszlai to recover from his injury. That did not happen and one of Hungary's biggest assets will miss the Euro 2021. Aside from that, no other player will miss the tournament due to injury and Hungary will deploy the best eleven possible. The full squad goes as follows:

The Key Players & Tactics 

Hungary’s leadership is centered on the midfield with Ádám Nagy being the undisputed number one. The Bristol City player has made a name as a quality midfielder in England and is eager to prove that in Euro 2020. The preferred formation for the manager, Marco Rossi, is the 3-5-2, with some glimpses of 4-4-2. In defense, Willi Orbán stands out, assisted by Fenerbahce’s Attila Szalai. The burden of scoring goals has to be lifted by Ádám Szalai. In the last official match, the dramatic 2-1 victory over Iceland, Rossi used a 3-5-2 formation. It is worth noting that Hungary had total domination in ball possession (73%), but it conceded many shots on target. Still, they produced many opportunities and grabbed the win with two late goals by Négo and Szoboszlai.

The Probable Lineup 

The starting eleven for the Euro 2020 Hungary team are not a big mystery, except for the midfield. Péter Gulácsi (37 caps), a starter at RB Leipzig, will be the goalkeeper. The defensive line consists of Willi Orbán, Attila Szalai and Endre Botka. In midfield, apart from Nagy, the most likely additions will be Kevin Varga, Zsolt Kalmár, Filip Holender and László Kleinheisler.  The attacking line will be filled up by Roland Sallai and the captain Ádám Szalai.

The Manager 

After a moderately successful career as a football player, Marco Rossi switched to manager. Having worked for Hungarian clubs since 2012, the National Federation appointed him as the head coach in June 2018. With Rossi at the helm, Hungary qualified to the Euro 2020 after a playoff victory against Iceland. In 27 matches with the Magyars, Rossi has fourteen wins, four draws and nine losses. Moreover, he won the domestic league with Budapest Honvéd FC in 2015.

Despite being one of the Euro 2020 dark horses, many legit bookmakers offer betting opportunities for Hungary.  In terms of odds and credibility, we have picked the top sportsbooks to make the most of your next wager.
