Georgia v Hungary Prediction: Returning Varga can make the difference in 8/1 Bet Builder

Georgia will look to secure their first win of this UEFA Nations League campaign on Saturday when they take on Hungary in Tbilisi.

The Georgians lost 1-0 in Budapest last month and find themselves bottom of Nations League Group B2, leaving them underdogs against a solid-looking Hungary outfit.

Saturday’s visitors followed that win over Georgia by beating Ukraine and they know a win on Saturday could take them to the top of the standings.

Georgia v Hungary

Georgia v Hungary Prediction

Best Bet: Hungary to win @ 7/5

Hungary were good value for their 1-0 win in Budapest last month, out-shooting Georgia 24-8 and following that performance with a 2-1 triumph over Ukraine.

The Magyars have now lost just one of their last eight ties, winning five, and their recent defensive resilience could come into play against a Georgia side lacking in the attacking department.

Saturday’s hosts are yet to score in this campaign and are now without their main attacking outlet following Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s ACL rupture a few weeks ago. With two draws and two defeats to their name, back Georgia to fall to another disappointing result at the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium.

Alternative Bet: Both teams to score: No @ 8/11

Georgia generated just 0.48 expected goals in their defeat in Hungary last month and a fourth successive game without a goal against Northern Ireland last time out saw them register 0.33 expected goals.

With star man Kvaratskhelia out of action, Georgia’s attacking prospects are further weakened and they face a Hungary side that have conceded only two goals in their four Nations League matches.

Both teams to score has landed in only one of these four games and in none of Georgia’s last five.

    8/1

Goals have been at a premium in both Georgia’s and Hungary’s UEFA Nations League ties so far, and another low-scoring affair is expected in Tbilisi on Saturday.

There have been just two goals scored in Georgia’s four games and each of their last seven fixtures has featured fewer than three goals, while Hungary’s Nations League ties have averaged a mere 1.25 goals per game so far, with three of them producing two or fewer goals.

This scarcity may extend to the corner count, too. There were 12 corners awarded in the reverse fixture between these sides last month, but Georgia’s four Nations League games have averaged 9.5 corners per game and Hungary’s just eight.

Barnabas Varga returns to the Hungary squad this month and he may be able to influence what is expected to be a tight game. He has scored two goals in two international appearances in 2026 and has netted eight goals in nine starts for AEK Athens this season.
