Hungary vs Switzerland Prediction, Betting Tips & Preview – Euro 2024

Hungary and Switzerland will face off in their first game of Euro 2024 at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne on Saturday, 15th June, at 2pm (GMT). Switzerland, ranked slightly higher globally than Hungary, will be looking to take all three points from this game. Hungary, despite not having the same calibre squad as Switzerland has been on a remarkable undefeated run for a whopping 14 games. In comparison, Switzerland has been struggling to find the back of the net recently, which makes Hungary appear to be in much better form. With Hungary’s form and Switzerland’s world-class talents, this game could go either way, so let’s dive deeper to see which way the scales might tip.

Hungary vs Switzerland Betting Tips

Given Hungary’s unbeaten run and Switzerland’s struggle for goals, a Double Chance on Hungary would be a good bet. For bettors seeking higher odds, a draw at halftime might provide value, as both teams will likely be cautious in the early stages of the game, due to the high-stakes scenario. Expect a slow first half with a lot of possession in midfield, followed by a slightly faster paced second half, with both teams aiming to score on the counterattack. 

Hungary vs Switzerland Match Prediction

We anticipate a close match where both teams counteract one another. Switzerland has the talent, but Coach Murat Yakin can’t seem to gel them together to create dangerous attacking opportunities. Hungary’s cohesion might give them the slight advantage in this game, but then again, Switzerland’s individual talents like Fabian Schar and Manchester City’s Manuel Akanji, along with a midfield led by the experienced Granit Xhaka, make it a tightly contested match. A draw might be the safest bet for this match, with both teams likely to walk away with a point in their first Group A encounter. 

Hungary vs Switzerland Correct Score Tips & Prediction

Although Hungary has scored 2+ goals in seven of their previous ten games, those teams did not boast the same kind of defensive ability that Switzerland possesses. With that said, we don’t expect Hungary to score many goals against Switzerland. However, Hungary’s current form suggests that they could utilise players like Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai to find at least one goal. Switzerland, on the other hand, has only conceded three goals in their last five encounters, indicating that they have strengthened their defence. They have also only scored three goals in those matches, suggesting they are unlikely to concede or score many in this closely matched encounter. A draw seems to be the most probable outcome, with minimal goals from each side. We predict a 1-1 draw.

Hungary vs Switzerland Over & Under Betting Tips

With the high pressure of it being the initial group stage match, both teams might start off cautiously, putting more emphasis on avoiding conceding goals rather than going all-out on the attack. Both Hungary and Switzerland have a solid defence, with Switzerland’s defence boasting seasoned players able to handle opposing threats. Given that both teams have strengths that will likely neutralise each other, this will probably be a low scoring match of under 2.5 goals.
