In a pivotal clash for Euro 2024 qualification, Bulgaria, languishing at the bottom of Group G, welcomes high-flying Hungary at the Vasil Levski National Stadium in Sofia. This unexpected venue change, criticised as “unsportsmanlike” by Hungary, sets the stage for an intriguing battle as Bulgaria, under new management, strives to salvage pride against a Hungary side on the brink of securing their third successive European Championship appearance.

Bulgaria, reeling from a winless streak, recently bid farewell to Mladen Krstajic after a string of unsatisfactory results. The newly appointed manager, Ilian Iliev, shoulders the responsibility of steering Bulgaria out of their current predicament. Iliev, concurrently managing Cherno More Varna, aims to implement astute tactics and rejuvenate a team grappling with a challenging international spell over the last 12 months.

Despite mathematical elimination from automatic Euro 2024 qualification, Bulgaria aspires to conclude the year on a positive note. With two remaining fixtures, they aim to ascend from the bottom of Group G, currently trailing Serbia by 11 points. Iliev’s tactical acumen and the players’ determination will be tested as they strive for redemption against Hungary and Lithuania.
In stark contrast, Hungary, perched atop Group G, is poised for a historic third consecutive European Championship berth. Marco Rossi’s men, boasting a 10-game unbeaten run, have amassed 14 points from 18 available, sitting one point clear of Serbia. A recent comeback draw against Lithuania showcased their resilience, underlining Hungary’s credentials as a formidable force in the qualifiers.
Hungary, currently ranked 30th in the world by FIFA, exhibits confidence after securing a comfortable 3-0 victory against Bulgaria earlier in the qualifying campaign. The dynamic trio of Szoboszlai, Vecsei, and Adam demonstrated Hungary’s prowess, setting the stage for a challenging encounter for the struggling Bulgarian side.
Bulgaria faces a midfield challenge with Andrian Kraev serving a one-match suspension. The midfield dilemma opens the door for Gruev or Krastev to partner Chochev. Iliev is likely to stick with a 3-4-3 formation, relying on captain Despodov and his attacking cohort to break Hungary’s formidable defence.
Injuries to key players such as Orban, Fiola, Kleinheisler, Sallai, Varga, and Vecsei pose a challenge for Hungary. However, the return of Kalmar and the selection dilemma for midfield positions underscore Rossi’s tactical decisions. The absence of Sallai and Varga might see Nemeth and Csoboth leading Hungary’s attacking line alongside Szoboszlai.
In a challenging encounter, Hungary enters the match as favourites, aiming to secure top spot in Group G. Our prediction: Bulgaria 0-2 Hungary. Iliev’s debut home game faces a stern test against an in-form Hungary, vying for Euro 2024 qualification.
Prediction: Bulgaria 0-2 Hungary
