Making their final friendly appearance before heading into this summer’s European Championships, Hungary will host Ireland in a friendly contest on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, coming past Iceland in a one-off showdown last year to secure their spot at this summer’s European Championships, Hungary have continued on a real purple patch. Landing themselves a deserved victory against Cyprus on home soil last week in a friendly contest, The Reds also opened their World Cup qualifiers earlier in the year with a string of eye-catching performances. After opening their campaign with an action-packed 3-3 draw against Poland back in March, Hungary then went on to secure back-to-back 3-0 and 4-1 victories against San Marino and Andorra. In fact, along with winning each of their last three matchups across all formats, Tuesday’s hosts are unbeaten in each of their last 10 straight contests, a run that stems back to September of last year.

As for the visitors, while Ireland might have managed to land a much-needed victory over the weekend, they were once again hugely unconvincing on foreign soil. Having to come from a goal down and eventually avoiding what would have been a stunning banana skin as they secured a 4-1 victory against Andorra on the road, The Greens brought an end to what has been a nightmare 12-match winless run across all formats. Failing to book their spot at this summer’s delayed European Championships, Ireland also endured a torrid run during their World Cup qualifying campaign earlier in the year. Suffering back-to-back defeats, including an infamous 1-0 defeat against Luxembourg, Tuesday’s guests could also only muster a lacklustre 1-1 draw against Qatar in a friendly contest back in March.
