Hungary vs Ukraine Prediction

Hungary host Ukraine on 25 September 2026 at 21:45 in a UEFA Nations League fixture at the Puskás Arena in Budapest. Hungary enter as home favorites after recent wins over Kazakhstan (3–1), Finland (2–1), and Slovenia (1–0), though they were relegated from League A after losing to Turkey in the playoffs. Ukraine arrive under new management following Sergei Rebrov's departure in April, with Andrea Maldeira now in charge. The visitors beat Albania (1–0) and Poland (2–0) in warm-up matches but lost to Sweden (1–3) in World Cup qualifying last March.

Form and H2H

Hungary have won five of their last ten matches with three draws and two losses, averaging 1.66 goals for and 1.06 against. Ukraine show five wins, one draw, and four losses over the same span, scoring 1.41 per game and conceding 1.40. Hungary have kept opponents to two goals or fewer in eight of their last ten home matches. Ukraine scored in eight of their last ten games and reached at least two goals in nine of ten, though the absence of striker Artem Dovbik through injury weakens their attacking threat. Hungary's Marco Rossi has emphasized pressing high after losing possession, meaning the hosts will hunt for chances throughout the pitch.

Best bet

Both teams to score. Hungary have scored in nine of ten recent matches; Ukraine in eight of ten. Ukraine's attacking players—Sudakov, Tsygankov, and Vanat—recorded ten shots with four on target in their last official game. Hungary's defensive record at home is solid but not impenetrable. The combination of Hungary's aggressive pressing and Ukraine's consistent attacking output makes both teams scoring the most reliable angle. Odds available at Melbet 3.26 for the draw and 3.2 for Ukraine, or 1xBet at 3.34 and 3.28 respectively.

Odds to watch

Hungary are priced at 2.3 on Melbet for the home win, with Ukraine at 3.2. On 1xBet, Hungary sit at 2.35 and Ukraine at 3.28. The draw trades at 3.26 on Melbet and 3.34 on 1xBet. Under 2.5 goals is available at 1.77 across the market, while Over 2.5 sits at 2.05. Hungary have conceded in only two of ten recent matches, and Ukraine's new coaching setup may reduce their attacking cohesion without Dovbik, making the under a secondary consideration despite the teams' scoring patterns.
