Dublin gets the spotlight this Saturday night for World Cup qualifying. Ireland, unbeaten in four games, welcome Hungary to the Aviva. The hosts are looking sharper under Heimir Hallgrímsson, while Hungary arrive having finally stopped the rot with a win over Azerbaijan.
So, who’s getting off to the perfect start in qualifying? Let’s take a look.
Ireland don’t have too many fresh concerns heading into this one. Heimir Hallgrímsson has slowly built a settled side, but the main talking point is in attack. Evan Ferguson is expected to lead the line again, while Will Smallbone could start after some tidy displays in midfield. Ireland’s defence looks stable with John Egan and Nathan Collins forming a decent partnership, though they’ve conceded in each of their last two at home.
Hungary will lean heavily on captain Dominik Szoboszlai, who remains their main creative spark. Barnabás Varga should keep his spot up front after scoring in their win against Azerbaijan. Defensively, though, Marco Rossi’s side look vulnerable — 13 goals conceded in their last five away trips tells its own story.
Likely Lineups
Ireland: Bazunu; Doherty, Egan, Collins, Manning; Cullen, Smallbone; Ogbene, Knight, Browne; Ferguson
Hungary: Dibusz; Lang, Orban, Szalai; Fiola, Styles, Nagy, Kerkez; Szoboszlai; Varga, Sallai
Ireland haven’t exactly been free-scoring, and Hungary’s attack has looked toothless for months. But when you put Ireland at home against a team that’s lost three of its last five away, you’ve got to lean green.
Some betting angles worth a look:
Ireland will be patient, keep the ball, and look for Ferguson’s movement up top. Hungary will sit back, try to hit on the break, and hope Szoboszlai finds some magic. But across 90 minutes, Ireland’s energy and home crowd should see them through.
Match Prediction: Ireland to win. Bet with bet365.
I’m leaning towards another 2-1. That was the score the last time these two met in Dublin, and it fits the trend. Ireland’s defence isn’t watertight, but their attack should edge it.
Correct Score Prediction: Ireland 2-1 Hungary. Bet with bet365.
The numbers say keep it simple. Ireland’s last six games have all finished under 3.5 goals. Hungary have only scored four in their last six, so don’t expect fireworks.
Over/Under Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a combo I like for Saturday night in Dublin:
That covers the lot — a cagey game, Ireland edging it, and their young star doing the damage.
Bet Builder Tip: Ireland to Win, Under 3.5 Goals & Evan Ferguson Anytime Scorer. Bet with bet365.
