Europe Championship

The last head-to-head match between Hungary and Switzerland was back in 2017, when Switzerland defeated Hungary with a score of 5:2. Hungary has not lost in 7 matches. Hungary has scored more than 1 goal in 6 consecutive matches. The Switzerland team has drawn in 5 out of the last 7 matches.

Hungary

The team had a very good qualifying campaign for the tournament. They accumulated 18 points in eight matches and topped their group to qualify for the European Championship. In their qualifying group, Hungary had the best attack with 16 goals scored and the best defense with only seven goals conceded. Before the Euros, Hungary played four friendly matches, scoring just seven goals and conceding only twice.

Overall, Hungary plays a style of football where they focus more on defense and look for counterattacks to score. However, in the previous tournament, Hungary was placed in a tough group with Portugal, Germany, and France. They earned two points in the group, finished last, and were eliminated from the tournament.

Certainly, Hungary is not considered a contender for the European Championship title. Bookmakers assess Hungary’s chances of winning with odds of 80. I believe Hungary’s main goal will be to advance to the knockout stage.

Switzerland

The Swiss unexpectedly relinquished the top spot in their qualifying group for the European Championship. They accumulated 17 points in ten matches, trailing Romania by five points, who claimed the first place. Additionally, they edged Israel by just two points. During the qualifiers, Switzerland conceded 11 times, marking the third worst defensive record in the group. However, they scored the most goals – 22.

Switzerland displays a strong attacking style of football but has defensive issues. In the previous European Championship, they advanced to the knockout stage as one of the best third-placed teams. In three matches, they conceded five goals and scored four. Prior to that Euros, Switzerland played four friendly matches, winning twice and drawing twice.

According to bookmakers, Switzerland has a better chance of winning the European Championship trophy compared to Hungary. They are given odds of 70 for their victory. Hungary is seen as Switzerland’s direct competitor for advancing to the knockout stage.

Prediction

The Swiss national team demonstrates a very strong attacking game, while Hungary plays defensively. However, during the qualifying cycle, both teams showed strong attacking capabilities. Of course, the stakes are higher at the European Championship, but I believe the first match of the tournament will be high-scoring, as both teams will want to showcase their best football.

Therefore, our bet will be on the total goals over two with a good coefficient of 1.67.

Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.67.
