Hungary take on the visitors Switzerland in the round 2 match of qualification for the World Cup 2018. The match will be played at Groupama Arena (Budapest) on Friday, October 7th.
Hungary quite unexpectedly advanced for the Euro 2016 but it wasn’t enough for them. They also won their group and advanced for the round of 16. The draw wasn’t favorable for them and they lost to strong Belgium 0-4. However, they are still heroes at home as the team reach far beyond their true abilities. As the confirmation, they drew their first round match at Faroe Islands, 0-0, which isn’t something the footballers can be proud about. The hosting side played 17 matches in 2016, taking six wins, eight draws and three defeats which is quite solid record for the team, who were underdogs for years.

Switzerland show quite consistent results for over 10 years and regularly advance for main stage of Euros and World Cups. As always, Switzerland played solid defensive football and got eliminated from round on 16 after losing to Poland on penalties. The start of this qualifying cycle was extremely successful for the team as they’ve defeated the European Champions at their turf, 2-0. The team is currently on six-match undefeated run.
Hungary and Switzerland faced one another seven times and the hosting side haven’t lost any of recent four head-to-heads between the teams. Considering poor start of the hosts and excellent run of results of Switzerland we should expect the visitors to be close to an away triumph in this match.
Prediction for the match: Switzerland to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
