Hungary U21 take on the visitors Kazakhstan U21 in UEFA Euro U21 qualification match. The match will be played on Thursday, September 7th at Ujszegedi Sportcsarnok (Szeged).
The Hungarian youth team's performance has been inconsistent; they struggle to consistently produce quality results. However, there are moments when they show great promise. This is the first round of the upcoming qualification, and the group they are in, while not the easiest, is still quite optimistic. It includes Scotland, Spain, Belgium, Malta, and Kazakhstan. To secure a top-2 spot in such a group, Hungary needs to collect 12 points from matches against Malta and Kazakhstan by default and then come up with strategies to compete against stronger opponents. The Kazakh youth team is not as bold as their senior national team, and they rarely achieve any sensational victories. Therefore, based on their quality, the hosts should secure all three points in this match.

Kazakhstan will likely compete with Malta for the 5th place in the group to avoid finishing last. They are unlikely to achieve more than that. Currently, the Kazakh youth team is on a streak of 12 matches without a win. Moreover, the likelihood is high that this streak will continue to grow. Facing Hungary, especially away from home, doesn't offer much hope for them. After that, they have matches against Belgium and Spain, which further diminish their chances of victory. So, Kazakhstan's prospects are quite dim, and it's likely they will continue to face losses.
It's not surprising that the odds for Hungary are modest at 1.3. You might consider a more aggressive bet on the hosts, specifically a handicap bet. I believe Hungary will score a few goals, but can the visitors respond with even one goal? Probably not. So, I would suggest considering a Handicap (-1.5) bet on Hungary.
Prediction for the match: Hungary U21 to win with -1.5 handicap.
