Hungary v Kazakhstan Prediction: 4/5 Magyars to dominate in Debrecen

With no World Cup on the agenda, Hungary and Kazakhstan will sign off for the summer with a friendly in Debrecen on Tuesday and the hosts should be comfortable winners.

Marco Rossi offered his resignation after Hungary's World Cup journey ended ignominiously back in November but the Italian remains in charge and is now the second-longest serving manager in the Magyars' history.

His challenge is to rebuild with the Nations League to come in September, while Kazakhstan are heading for League C in that campaign after relegation last time out.

Hungary v Kazakhstan Tips Summary

Best Bet - Hungary - Half-Time/Full Time @ 4/5
Alternative Bet - Over 3.5 goals @ 6/4
Bet Builder - Hungary to win, Both teams to score - Yes & Hungary to score in both halves @ 16/5

Hungary v Kazakhstan Prediction

Best Bet: Hungary - Half-Time/Full Time @ 4/5

Hungary's qualifying failure must still ache for those involved. They collapsed in the final minutes against Republic of Ireland in Budapest, indulging in time wasting only to concede in the dying embers as Troy Parrott completed a smash-and-grab win for the Irish.

It means their World Cup absence now stands at 40 years. Rossi offered to resign after that November loss but Sandor Csanyi, president of the Hungarian FA, insisted the board believed the Italian to be the right man for an introspective review of that failure and a look to the future.

In three games since they have beaten Slovenia and Finland and drawn with Greece.

Kazakhstan enjoyed March wins over Namibia and Comoros in the FIFA Series before a 1-1 draw with Armenia on Saturday.

Despite taking the lead in Yerevan, it was a fortunate outcome as they lost the shot count 20-11 and the corner tally 14-2.

Hungary have the quality to hurt a side ranked 58 places below them and while the Magyars are 1/4 to win, it is worth having them to be in front at half-time, as they were in the win over Finland on Friday.

Alternative Bet: Over 3.5 goals @ 6/4

There could be goals in Debrecen. These sides have met twice before, a 3-0 Hungarian win in 2014 and a 3-2 Kazakhstani success four years later.

Four of Hungary's six qualifiers for the World Cup produced four or more goals, the exceptions being both games against Armenia which they won to nil. Kazakhstan were hit for six in Belgium in September.

They have been jousting with teams ranked outside the world's top 100 in recent times and Hungary – currently 42nd – could punish them.

Hungary v Kazakhstan Bet Builder Tip

• Hungary to win
• Both teams to score - Yes
• Hungary to score in both halves
  Pays 16/5

While a routine Hungarian win is likely, there is a solid chance that Talgat Baysufinov's side will score.

The coach is in his third spell in charge. Both teams have scored in three of Kazakhstan's last six games, including a 1-1 draw against Belgium in Astana back in November.

Hungary showed their potential against Portugal in the World Cup qualifiers. They went down 3-2 in Budapest – scoring in each half – and claimed a 2-2 draw in Lisbon, again with a goal in each half.

Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai is their playmaker-in-chief, while AEK Athens forward Barnabas Varga took his international goalscoring record to 13 in 28 games with a brace against Finland.

Bournemouth youngster Alex Toth impressed against the Finns and the hosts should make plenty of opportunities in this summer farewell.
