Hungary vs Uruguay
International – Friendlies
Date: Friday, 15 November 2019
Kick-off at 14:00 UK/ 15:00 CET
Venue: Puskás Ferenc Stadion (Budapest).
After playing the last South American side in a friendly international back in August 2005 (a 2-1 loss to Argentina), Hungary entertain Uruguay in their H2H versus overall 26 CONMEBOL nations (W8, D6, L11), which means 'Mighty Magyars' were without victory in 68% of their previous 25 meetings against the side. Mate patkai has scored two goals in his four appearances. Both goals arrived within the last 15 minutes, and in the game when Hungary won by a margin of one goal. A 1-0 win over Azerbaijan in mid-October saw Hungary snap a three-game losing streak, but record their fourth shutout in six international matches home. Home games are also part of a run of 19 matches without a draw (W10, L9), while 11 of the last 13 at home see the winner win by a single goal difference.
Hungary has won exactly half of their fixtures during Marco Rossi (W7, D1, L6). Rossi eight of 14 games in charge have been seeing only one side of the score. Only one of the last 13 games Uruguay have seen both sides score in the first round.
Came into the match unbeaten in 11 (W7, D4 - 90 minutes), Uruguay should be confident in this one, especially after only conceded more than one goal on only one occasion in the last year (2-2). Furthermore, five of their last six international games have seen under 2.5 goals. Darwin Núñez (URU) has scored three goals in his last five appearances for club and country, all in a game that saw both sides score. With only one defeat in four previous meetings H2H (4-2 AET in the 1954 World Cup), Uruguay will hope to record win back-to-back over Hungary, after beating them 2-0 in their last H2H in 2000 (W1, D2, L1). Moreover, Uruguay boss Oscar Tabarez has a pretty good record against the countries of UEFA (W16, D12, L15).
Prediction
Uruguay should be big favorites entering this contest. Striker duo of Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani to be too much for the Hungarian defense to handle, and the hosts are expected to field an alternative squad as well. Plus, recent form should provide CONMEBOL giants edge as well. While Uruguay came into this match-up brings 11-game unbeaten streak, Hungary has a record of W4, L4 in 2019. La Celeste have to get the job done here.
