Hungary vs Georgia Preview – prediction, team news, lineups | UEFA Nations League 2026-27
This will be the third-ever encounter between these nations!
The Hungary national football team are all set to have a face-off against the Georgia national football team for their third group-stage clash at the UEFA Nations League 2026-27 edition. This will be an interesting outing, taking place at the Puskás Aréna.
After facing a 0-1 loss against Ukraine in their opening game, Marco Rossi’s men were held to a goalless draw by Northern Ireland in their next outing. They are yet to score a goal in their ongoing campaign. They are going to be under pressure for their next one.
The Magyars will have to establish control early in the game, and being at home is going to be helpful. The Hungary national football team must work on their finishing in the final third. Despite multiple attempts against Northern Ireland, they failed to fire the ball into the back of the net.
The Ramaz Svanadze-led side lost their first UEFA Nations League 2026-27 contest against the Green and White Army. They were then held to a goalless draw by Ukraine in their following fixture. The Crusaders have also failed to score a goal in their first two games.
They will be looking to turn the tide this time around. The Georgia national football team also need a better finishing touch in the attacking front. Despite going for a total of 14 shots, none of them went in to hit the back of the net.
They will be away from home. It can be a disadvantage for them.

Players to Watch
Dominik Szoboszlai (Hungary)
Dominik Szoboszlai is going to be one of the main men in the squad for the Hungary national football team. Even though he failed to engrave his name on the scoresheet last time around, his work rate across the field was very good. The 25-year-old created the joint-most chances (3) and was a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Georgia)
Despite not scoring any goals, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was a crucial asset in the attacking front for the Georgia national football team. He had the most touches (5) in the opposition box and took the most shots (4). The 25-year-old will be looking to step up his game and deliver an even better performance this time around.
