Out-of-form teams collide on matchday three in the UEFA Nations League, as Georgia travel to Hungary on Oct 2.
Hungary Failing to Convert Chances
Marco Rossi will be frustrated with his team’s start to the Nations League this year, as Hungary are winless in two fixtures.
Most concerning would be their weak attacking output, having failed to score in successive fixtures against Northern Ireland and Ukraine. Hungary will need to be more efficient, recording 22 shots and hitting the target with just five.
Dominik Szoboszlai will be key in the final third, having scored twice in his last six appearances. Daniel Lukacs will lead the line after scoring twice in his latest ten internationals. Bendeguz Bolla is expected to miss out due to injury.
Hungary predicted lineup vs Georgia (4-2-3-1): Toth; Osvath, Orban, Csinger, Kerkez; Schafer, Csongvai; Jurek, Szucs, Szoboszlai; Lukacs
Georgia Misfiring in Front of Goal
Ramaz Svanadze will look for a response from his Georgia side this weekend following a run of two matches without a win to start the Nations League.
Georgia were unable to score in their previous two, and have only won two of their last ten internationals. They will need to be more efficient in the final third, after recording just four shots on target from 13 shots in the 0-0 draw against Ukraine.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will be crucial, despite a recent missed penalty against Northern Ireland. The PSG superstar must rediscover his form after failing to score in eight successive fixtures. Georges Mikautadze is a slight concern this weekend.
Georgia predicted lineup vs Hungary (5-3-2): Mamardashvili; Kakabadze, Goglichhidze, Dvali, Lochoshvili, Tsitaishvili; Chakvetadze, Kiteishvili, Kochorashvili; Kvaratskhelia, Kvernadze

The home win looks like an eye-catching value selection this week. Hungary have typically been reliable on home turf, winning four of their previous seven, and they have avoided defeat in five of their six fixtures in 2026.
Georgia have been inconsistent throughout the calendar year, winning just twice in their six matches. Meanwhile, the visitors have suffered five defeats in their six most recent competitive encounters.
Verdict: Under 3.5 (1.34) — Hungary 1-0 Georgia
