Serbia Team News
In their last competitive match, the Serbian national team unexpectedly played a draw with Bulgaria, with a final score of 1-1. The home team took the lead early in the second half, but the guests managed to equalize in injury time thanks to a goal from Darko Lazović.
Before the match against Bulgaria, Serbia secured two victories in the group stage, winning 2-0 against Lithuania and 2-0 against Montenegro. Before the start of the qualifiers, they also played a friendly match against the USA, which they won 2-1, and triumphed over Jordan with a score of 3-2.
After being unavailable for the last match, Aleksandar Mitrović will return to the starting lineup for Serbia in this game. Ivan Ilić is also likely to play in midfield, as Saša Lukić and Marko Grujić are not included in the squad.
Dusan Vlahović is also back in the squad, but the Juventus forward is expected to be selected as a substitute.

Hungary Team News
Hungary defeated Lithuania 2-0 in the last round of qualifiers. They took the lead in the 32nd minute when Attila Szalai assisted Barnabas Varga, who scored. They doubled their lead in the 83rd minute with a goal from Roland Sallai, with Dominik Szoboszlai providing the assist. The score remained unchanged until the end of the match.
Before that match, Hungary defeated Bulgaria 3-0, while they played a goalless draw with Montenegro. In friendly games before the start of the group stage, they drew 2-2 with Luxembourg and defeated Greece 2-1, and Estonia 1-0.
Manager Marco Rossi will make at least two changes to Hungary’s starting lineup, as Endre Botka and Daniel Gazdag are not included in the squad. Adam Lang and Zsolt Kalmar appear to be the most likely candidates for opportunities in defense and midfield, assuming Rossi sticks with a three-man reason.
Although goalkeeper Peter Gulácsi is available again after an injury, Denes Dibusz is expected to retain his spot in goal.

Serbia vs Hungary Prediction
Serbia is a slight favorite in this match due to home advantage and the quality of their players on paper. However, Hungary has a good chance of qualifying for EURO alongside the home team, so we cannot confidently predict a clear victory for Serbia. Therefore, our suggestion for this match is a win for the home team or a draw, with a prediction that at least two goals will be scored during the match.
