- Competition: UEFA Nations League
- Date: Tuesday, 10th September 2024
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
- Venue: Puskás Aréna (Budapest)
The UEFA Nations League rules are simple. The first two teams of each group in League A will progress to the quarterfinal, while the third team will go into the relegation playoff, and the last will be transferred to the lower level. With Germany and Netherlands in the same group, the most realistic for Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina could be to fight for the third position.
Hungary played well for the last few years, but they won only two of the last six matches. On Saturday, in the first game of the Nations League, Hungary lost 5-0 on the road against Germany. The home side outclassed Marco Rossi's side as they finished the match with an xG of 0.49, while Germany had 4.25. Now, Hungary will head home to Budapest, where they should have a much better chance of winning in the second round against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Bosnia and Herzegovina are probably the weakest in all League A groups this year. In the previous UEFA Nations League, they won promotion from the lower level, but Bosnia and Herzegovina lost the previous seven matches in a row. In the Nations League first round, they lost 5-2 on the road against the Netherlands. The home side was much better as they had 71% ball possession and 24 shots on the goal more than Sergej Barbarez's team. Bosnia and Herzegovina will have the opportunity to improve their impression on Tuesday in Budapest, but this group is probably above their current level, and Bosnia and Herzegovina is surely the biggest candidate for relegation.
Hungary vs Bosnia and Herzegovina pick: Hungary to win
Both teams struggled in the first round, but Hungary's home record in the previous few years is enough to trust them against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Hungary team news
After a disappointing 5-0 in Dusseldorf, Hungary's head coach, Marco Rossi, was far from happy. He said that he and his players should be ashamed of themself. Also, Rossi added, "In three days, we play against Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is also important from a psychological point of view, as I expect a reaction. If we are not able to react to such a situation, everyone will have to disappear from the scene. That's clear."

Bosnia and Herzegovina team news
Bosnia and Herzegovina lost on Saturday against the Netherlands, and the head coach, Serge Barbarez, wasn't satisfied. After the game, he was clear, "Of course, it's not an easy game. We played against one of the best teams in the world. It is very difficult to play against them. If you're going to blame anyone, blame me. The boys had a little problem at the beginning. We were far from people. We changed the system once or twice to try to be better. We picked ourselves up a bit in the middle of the second half and tried with two strikers in the last ten minutes. "Unfortunately, at the end of the first and second half, we conceded three goals that came from our mistakes."
