Hungary take on the visitors Lithuania in the round 4 match of UEFA Euro Qualification. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 20th at Puskás Aréna (Budapest).
Hungary have earned respect at the previous Euro. The "Magyars" could complain about their fate. Whether in 2016 or in the following tournament, they were drawn into challenging groups and put up a real fight against the favorites. Furthermore, the team achieved two promotions in the UEFA Nations League and came close to winning the group alongside England (whom they defeated twice), Italy, and Germany in 2022. Perhaps the only recent cycle where they can't claim success is the qualification for the World Cup, although they won half of their matches, 5 out of 10. In 2023, Hungary defeated Bulgaria 3-0 in March. The summer started with an away match against Montenegro, and a goalless draw there cannot be considered a clear success.

Lithuania struggled to win for a long time. The "Yellow-Greens," excluding a friendly match against San Marino where victory is expected by default, couldn't achieve success since their 3-1 win against Bulgaria back in the autumn of 2021. In the previous calendar year, the Baltic team couldn't win in either the UEFA Nations League (earning 1 point against the Faroe Islands with defeats against Turkey and Luxembourg) or the Baltic Cup. Under the guidance of coach Jankauskas, they started the new qualification campaign with a 0-2 loss to Serbia. However, they managed to score at home against Bulgaria, although they quickly conceded in response. Ultimately, that match ended in a 1-1 draw.
There have been a total of 4 matches between the national teams. Lithuania lost three times and only managed to secure 1 draw, which was achieved in an away match. The Baltic guests are clearly weaker. So the question here is not about winning but about the margin of victory. We bet with a handicap of "-2 goals" in favor of Hungary.
Prediction for the match: Hungary to win with -2.0 handicap.
