Hungary v Finland Prediction: 1/1 chance for goals at both ends

Budapest was basking in the glory of staging the UEFA Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain last weekend, and the Puskas Arena will now host an international friendly between Hungary and Finland on Friday.

Neither nation managed to qualify for World Cup 2026 but this upcoming clash between the pair has the promise of being an entertaining one.

Hungary v Finland Prediction

Best Bet: Both teams to score @ 1/1

Hungary finished third in World Cup qualifying Group F, collecting eight points from their six matches to miss out on a place in this summer’s tournament.

Going forward was not an issue for the Magyars, who scored 11 times in total and netted in all six games, but keeping things tight at the back was their Achilles heel.

Marco Rossi’s side conceded 10 goals and the two clean sheets they managed to register came against minnows Armenia, who lost five of their six contests.

Hungary have scored at least once in eight of their last nine fixtures and they have the attacking prowess to get on the scoresheet on Friday.

But Finland will also feel confident about hitting the back of the net, something they have achieved seven times in their last four outings.

Finland’s defensive frailties were exposed by Germany on Sunday, though, as they suffered a 4-0 friendly defeat, and they are unlikely to be able to keep things tight at the Puskas Arena.

Alternative Bet: Over 3.5 goals @ 9/4

Goals are anticipated in this contest and the 9/4 available on there to be at least four is worthy of consideration.

Hungary have found the net at least twice in six of their last nine matches, while four of their six World Cup qualifiers went over the 3.5-goals mark.

There is attacking quality in the Magyars squad, with Dominik Szoboszlai, Alex Toth and Barnabas Varga to name a few, and Rossi’s men are not afraid to push forward. 

Finland have seen four of their last eight games produce at least four strikes, including Sunday’s 4-0 loss to Germany.

The Finns did, however, muster up eight attempts in that heavy defeat and there is attacking quality in the squad with Oliver Antman, Topi Keskinen, Naatan Skytta and Joel Pohjanpalo.

Hungary v Finland Bet Builder Tip

• Hungary to win

• Over 10 corners

  Pays 4/1

Hungary have lost just one of their last six assignments and they should have enough quality in their ranks to overcome Finland, who were thumped 4-0 by Germany on Sunday.

With attack likely to be the best form of defence for both sides, this should be an end-to-end match and the chances of the corners racking up looks to be high.

There were 13 corners in Finland’s loss to Germany, while Hungary’s last outing against Greece in March produced 11.
