The Hungarian team scored 8 goals, being the third best attack in their group and conceded 3 goals, with the defense less leaked and these numbers show good balance between the offensive and defensive sectors, but still need to improve in the attack to score more goals.

Betting suggestion:
This confrontation tends to be somewhat unbalanced, considering that the principal has a cast of great quality and reason why is the current champion of the European Championship, while the visitor has only medium cast and despite being fighting for a vacancy in the next World Cup, made all his points against the ineffective selections of Andorra, Faroe Islands and Latvia. In addition, Portugal has players capable of unbalancing any game, especially the star Cristiano Ronaldo who is the top scorer of the European qualifiers with 7 goals. In view of these factors, we believe that Portugal will make use of the superior cast and the game command to win the 3 points without major difficulties.
