Hungary to Win
First Hungary vs Bulgaria prediction is the obvious choice under the circumstances. Hungary has been carrying themselves very well over the last few years finding the right coach in Italian Marco Rossi. They have qualified for the last couple of EURO Finals and will look to start their next journey in a winning fashion. Hungary won three out of their last five home matches losing only last September to Italy in UEFA's Nations League. Bulgaria, on the other hand, is unbeaten in their past five away matches drawing three times and winning twice. However, Bulgarians will be disappointed that they lost to Montenegro in the opening match of the qualifiers, and losing in Budapest would already put them in a losing situation. These teams have met each other only once in the last ten years, three years ago Hungary won 3-1.
Under 2.5 Goals
Defending is the key for the visiting team ahead of the Hungary vs Bulgaria tie. In their last five away games, only four goals were scored, and a couple of matches ended with a goalless draw. More importantly, all five games ended with fewer than three goals scored. Hungary's last five matches at home had only one game with over 2.5 goals, and that was a friendly against Greece last year. The last time they played was in 2020 at the first stage of UEFA's Nations League and there were four goals scored in total. However, four games before that one between these sides ended with fewer than three goals in the back of the net.

Preview, Team News, and Hungary vs Bulgaria Lineups
Hungary
Slowly but surely, Hungary has developed a very good squad on the international level capable of playing against some of the best European sides. They have qualified for the last two iterations of the European Championships, and even though they didn't have much success, those matches gave this team additional experience that will help them down the road. Manager Marco Rossi has a full squad at his disposal.
Probable lineup: Dibusz, Szalai, Orban, Lang, Kerkez, Vecsei, Kalmar, Bolla, Szoboszlai, Sallai, Adam.
Bulgaria
The guest side was unlucky to lose their opening game in this qualifying cycle to Montenegro with one goal as the difference-maker. Bulgarians held their own, they produced some opportunities but couldn't manage to take advantage of a big ball possession advantage. Bulgaria will have a hard time earning another chance at Puskas Arena. There are no health concerns at the moment regarding the visiting team.
Probable lineup: Naumov, Petrov, Antov, Hristov, Stoyanov, Iliev, Gruev, Yordanov, Krastev, Delev, Despodov.
Starting Lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Dominik Szoboszlai
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has become his country's leader on the field. Already a team captain at his age, that fact gave him additional responsibilities which suited his character just fine. Szoboszlai scored six goals in 29 appearances for his country.
