Match preview: Hungary vs Slovenia
Hungary has made significant progress over the past decade, but their form is showing signs of stagnation. In their most recent match in November, they lost 2-3 to the Republic of Ireland in an emotional game, missing out on a chance to qualify for the 2026 World Cup play-offs in the European region.
Since EURO 2024, Hungary has only won against Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Bosnia-Herzegovina in a total of 16 matches. This figure shows that the home team is struggling to maintain consistency, despite having the home advantage and familiarity with their playing style.
On the other side of the pitch, Slovenia is a team that tends to play a tight and difficult game. At the previous EURO, they were only eliminated after a penalty shootout against Portugal. This team also boasts Benjamin Sesko, one of the most in-form strikers in European football today.
However, Slovenia's 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign hasn't been entirely smooth. They've only scored 3 goals in 6 matches, drawing 4 and losing 2. Their limited attacking ability is the reason Slovenia hasn't been able to make a stronger breakthrough recently.
Slovenia typically plays defensively, but if they continue with such a safe approach, they will struggle to make a difference. This match could therefore be more open, as both teams need to experiment and look for positive signs. Hungary has the home advantage, while Slovenia is capable of causing problems with their solidity and discipline.
Predicting the score for Hungary vs Slovenia
Prediction: Hungary 1-1 Slovenia. It's highly likely both teams will score.
