Host Three Lions in Must-Win Situation in Nations League
Revenge Factor
England and Hungary collided in the first game of the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League. As expected, the Three Lions were huge soccer betting favorites. However, the Magyars pulled off the stunner. Now, Marco Rossi’s team visits Wembley with the Group of Death top spot on sight.
The Three Lions, who once again dominate the odds board, can’t afford to lose. Otherwise, they would practically be condemned to League B.
Let’s check the latest news, stats, injury reports, and UEFA Nation’s League A odds for England vs Hungary. We’ve plenty of soccer predictions for you to consider.
England Not Meeting Expectations
Prior to the start of the tournament, England was among the top favorites to dethrone France. Gareth Southgate has been coaching the Three Lions since 2016 and he already led them to the 2018 World Cup semifinals and the 2020 European Championship Grand Finale.
There’s also the fact that England’s attacking unit is ridiculously talented. It includes Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane, Tammy Abraham, Jack Grealish, Mason Mount and Jarrod Bowen. Well, three games into the tourney, England has scored only one game and sits last in Group 3 of League A.
Their most recent game was against Italy, at Wembley, which ended with a goalless draw. They won possession with 60 percent but couldn’t figure out the Catenaccio. On the bright side, that was their 16th straight home game without losing.
Kyle Walker, Jude Bellingham and John Stones didn’t play while Kane, Bowen and Bukayo Saka came off the bench. In other words, all of them are well-rested to face Hungary. The Three Lions are offering a -365 price in the sportsbook. For the first leg, they were -225.
“At a stadium like this, the crowd can really lift you so without a doubt we’re looking forward to that on Tuesday,” Southgate said during an interview.
Hungary: Nothing to Lose
Nobody expected Hungary to be alive at this point, and not only are they alive, but could climb to first place with a victory. The Magyars have been a feisty underdog since the 2020 Euros, in which they drew against France and Germany.
Most recently, the Magyars drew again, to Germany. The game at Puskas Arena finished 1-1. The home side scored only six minutes into the game thanks to Zsolt Nagy. However, the visitors evened things up only three minutes later thanks to Jonas Hofmann.
The Magyars only lost two of their last 12 games on the road. They scored in 10 of those games and finished with a clean sheet five times. Regarding the UNL, they scored in all three games, proving they aren’t afraid of anything or anyone.
Now, we already established that the Magyars come in as the betting online underdogs, but here’s the interesting part: they’re offering a +1100 price. If you wager $100 on them and they pull off the upset, like they did on Matchday 1, your payout would be $1200.

England vs Hungary Prediction
Yes, the UNL is just a friendly tournament, but the Three Lions should win every tournament in which they take part. It’s time for the attacking unit to wake up, especially Kane. Hungary won’t be easy prey, though. Since Rossi took over, the Magyars have averaged 1.3 goals per game. Therefore, we recommend you include the over in your soccer picks.
