Double Chance: Hungary to Win or Draw
The biggest surprise of this cycle of Nations League in Europe is the amazing story of Hungary, who enters their final game in the group ahead of Italy, Germany and England.
However, Italy can overtake them at the top with a win, but we believe in fairytales and want to see a happy ending to this one. After all, Hungary will have the backing of their fans since they are hosting the game, so we don't see Italy winning this match.
Over 2.5 Total Goals
The first duel between these teams ended in a 2-1 win for Italy, so we saw three goals in that game. Given how important this match is, we can see both teams fighting hard to win and we can see it going over as well.
After all, Italy averaged 2.60 goals per game in Nations League so far, while Hungary averaged 2.20 goals per game in their five matches played in this competition.

Hungary vs Italy preview: Latest form, news, and potential lineups
The winner of Group 3 of the top level of UEFA Nations League will be known after this game is over, so let's check the teams out in more detail now:
Hungary
After surprising the entire continent with their performances in Nations League, Hungary only has one final step to take to confirm their win in the group and a spot in the final tournament. The team doesn't even need to beat Italy here since a draw would also secure them the top spot at the end.
Meanwhile, Hungary will once again be without their first-choice striker Roland Sallai, but the rest of the team is available and ready for this exciting game.
Hungary Predicted Lineup:
Gulacsi – Lang, Orban, At. Szalai – Fiola, Schafer, Gazdag, Kerkez – A. Nagy, Szoboszlai – Ad. Szalai
Italy
While the country is probably still shocked about the fact that Italy won't be playing at World Cup this winter, their national team is trying to get redemption for it by making it to the final tournament in UEFA Nations League. To achieve this, they have to beat Hungary in the last round in Budapest.
The team will once again miss the injured midfield trio of Marco Verratti, Sandro Tonali and Lorenzo Pellegrini, while Matteo Politano is also unlikely to play.
Italy Predicted Lineup:
Donnarumma – Toloi, Bonucci, Bastoni – Di Lorenzo, Barella, Jorginho, Frattesi, Dimarco – Raspadori, Immobile
