Hungary vs Switzerland Prediction: Hungary may get atleast a point in this game

When Switzerland plays Hungary on Saturday at Cologne Stadium in Köln as part of the UEFA European Championship group stage, the in-form team has the opportunity to go five games without a loss. It's each team's first game in the competition. In their most recent encounter, a friendly on June 8 at Nagyerdei Stadion, Hungary defeated Israel 3-0.

Switzerland's previous friendly match took place at Kybunpark on June 8 and ended in a 1-1 tie with Austria, extending their unbeaten run to four games across all competitions. In their most recent meeting, Switzerland defeated the other team 5-2 at St. Jakob-Park during the first round of the UEFA World Cup Qualifiers.

Hungary has scored in their previous 11 games in all competitions. Since a June 2023 European Championship Qualifiers matchup with Montenegro, they have scored in every game.

Hungary is up four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six games. During that time, they won four of the six games and gave up five, scoring 12 goals. In the first forty-five minutes of play, they scored five goals, while their opponents scored three. The Swiss team's past six games have seen two wins, three draws, and one loss. In that span, they won three of the six games, gave up three, and scored seven goals. 

Hungary

Hungary is full of hope going into Euro 2024, as they are considered as one of the dark horses for this summer's competition, despite their inability to advance past the group stage at Euro 2020. During their unbeaten run in Euro 2024 qualifying, Hungary has only lost one of their past 14 international matches since the start of 2023. They won five of their eight games and drew three to take the lead in their group for the first time.

Hungary is now preparing for their third consecutive appearance at the European Championship. Ranked 26th in the world by FIFA, they travelled to Germany after easily defeating Israel 3-0 at home in their final warm-up match last weekend.

After a shocking 2-1 friendly loss to the Republic of Ireland just four days prior, the Magyars looked forward to a comfortable victory as they raced into a three-goal lead inside the first 22 minutes thanks to goals from Roland Sallai in the 11th minute and Barnabas Varga in the 22nd.

In Group A of Euro 2024, Hungary will be eager to get off to a strong start, but they will face a Swiss team that has won six of the previous nine encounters between the two countries.

Switzerland

Hungary and Switzerland will only face off in a major event twice, with the former winning the first meeting 2-0 in the 1938 World Cup. This game will take place on Saturday. But since then, the Swiss have won both of their international encounters, tallying eight goals in the process. Switzerland, ranked 19th in the world by FIFA, fought their way through a difficult Euro 2024 qualification campaign, winning four and drawing five of ten games to place second in their group behind Romania.

Their lacklustre performance put pressure on manager Murat Yakin towards the conclusion of the previous year, but the 49-year-old managed to hang onto his position and is getting ready for his first European tournament as the Swiss manager—a four-game winning streak since the year's beginning hasn't hurt his cause. In their first of two warm-up matches ahead of Euro 2024, Switzerland thrashed Estonia 4-0. Four days later, they drew 1-1 with Austria,.

The onus is on Yakin to lead Switzerland into the knockout stages and continue the legacy of his forerunners. The Swiss have progressed past the group stage in the previous five European Championships and famously made it to the quarterfinals of Euro 2020, a remarkable achievement that they hope to repeat this summer.
