Preparing for their inaugural 2024 test, the Hungarian national team exudes confidence after an impeccable performance in the EURO qualifying campaign. They boasted five victories and three draws, propelling them to Group G’s pinnacle. With a formidable four-point lead over their Central European foes, Serbia, they secured a spot in this summer’s finals in Germany.

Looking at the bigger picture, since experiencing a 0-2 loss against Italy in a contest for the top position during the previous UEFA Nations League edition on September 26, 2022, the Nemzeti Tizenegy have managed to avoid defeat. They have created a solid streak of 12 matches without a loss, standing firm against all opponents throughout the entire year of 2023, with 6 wins and 4 draws.

Remarkably, Head Coach Marco Rossi has transformed the Magyars into a formidable offensive force that has broken through the defenses of their competitors at least twice in seven of their eight qualifying matches. Additionally, he is confident that their impressive seven-game home winning streak will continue, especially after their decisive 3-1 and 2-0 victories over Turkey in their last two home games.

Turkey, who visited Puskas Arena on Friday, has successfully navigated the European Championship qualifiers in Germany. They accumulated the highest points tally (17) among all their competitors, emerging as the ultimate victors of Group D. They surpassed last year’s UEFA Nations League runners-up, Croatia, by just one point.

The Crescent-Stars’ latest game ends their three-game winning streak, marked by an exceptional 3-2 comeback win over EURO 2024’s hosts, Germany. They were compelled to accept a lackluster 1-1 draw against Wales, on the final day of the qualifying group.

Even though the match is friendly, Hakan Calhanoglu and his team will strive to start the new year on a high note. However, they need a new strategy to break their losing streak against the resilient Magyars. They have not been successful in their last four encounters, losing three times.

With both national teams eager to kick off 2024 on a strong note, and considering their superb productivity in the final third, fans at the Puskas Arena can expect a high-octane affair filled with goal-scoring opportunities and thrilling moments. It’s intriguing to note that the Crescent-Stars’ recent friendly clashes with Japan and Germany have seen a flurry of 11 goals, while the Magyars have been equally dynamic, featuring in lively contests with goals flowing to both sides in their last six consecutive matches.
