England to win but no clean sheet!
We begin our England vs Hungary prediction with a home win and both teams to score. Hungary have been in good scoring form of late having scored in each of their last four and in all of their Nations League games to date. That’s why we fancy them to score. The reason we fancy England to win is two-fold. Firstly, they’re clearly a better player for player team than Hungary. Secondly, despite their recent wobble, the Three Lions have still only lost one of their past 25 games with 17 wins.
Harry Kane to score
Harry Kane is highly likely to come back into the starting XI for this game. Should he start then it’s highly likely he’ll carry England’s biggest goal threat; he ended the domestic season with five goals in the last five games for Tottenham and has bagged England’s only goal of this competition so far. If a chance falls his way, Kane is very likely to score.

Will England finally grab a Nations League win?
Before the Nations League started nobody – and we mean nobody – had England bottom and Hungary second in this group. That is how things sit right now though and only am England win will take the Three Lions off the bottom. Tammy Abraham got the nod against Italy but we expect Harry Kane to come back into the reckoning here. He’ll be desperate to fire England to victory but it will be easier said than done.
England have made a poor start to their Nations League group with no wins from three games. Their loss in the reverse fixture of this, however, is undoubtedly the low point of the three games played so far. Will Gareth Southgate give game time to some fringe players here or will he go full strength in his hunt for a first win – and revenge? Whatever selection Southgate makes, another defeat is almost unthinkable here.
England Predicted lineup – Pickford, Walker, Trippier, Maguire, Stones, Rice, Bellingham, Mount, Saka, Sterling, Kane
Hungary are enjoying themselves in group three right now. They were labelled as the underdogs before the Nations League got underway but they’ve equipped themselves well. A 60 year wait for a win against England came when they hosted them last week. Can they now grab a historic win in England? Maybe; they'd take a draw now though.
Hungary Predicted lineup – Gulasci, Lang, Orban, Szalai, Fiola, Nagy, Styles. Nagy, Sallai, Szoboszlai, Szalai
