Hungary to take a point
We start our predictions for this Italy vs Hungary match up in a rather bold fashion as we back Hungary to maintain an unbeaten start to the Nations League with a point. The truth of the matter is that Hungary are in good form right now; they've won four of their last five matches. Italy by contrast are in a pretty bang average streak themselves; they've won just one of their last five matches drawing two and losing two. On the head to head front, it's not exactly dominated by Italy either – they've won just two of the last five clashes.
Someone will fail to score
Our next tip for this game is that at least one of Italy and Hungary will fail to score. Italy have seen three of their last five matches end with at least one side failing to score. Hungary meanwhile have seen both teams score just once in their last five games; included in those four is each of their last three.

Can Hungary maintain a perfect start?
This Nations League campaign might only be one game old but already this group is highly interesting. Take this game for instance. If Hungary manage just a draw, they'll be – as a minimum – joint top. If Italy win, the same applies to them. Let's see how the respective nations will approach the game.
Italy will be kicking themselves after their 1-1 draw with Germany on Saturday. They've been in ropey form recently but took a lead against Germany only to throw it away moments later. Anything but a win over Hungary will have real questions being asked of their setup and, particularly, Roberto Mancini's future.
Italy Predicted lineup – Donnarumma, Florenzi, Bastoni, Acerbi, Biraghi, Frattesi, Crisante, Tonali, Politano, Scamacca, Pellegrini
Let's be honest, nobody saw Hungary beating England over the weekend. Regardless of how they did it, it was huge result for them and with a clean sheet to boot they'll be buzzing for this game to come around. They'd rip your arms off for a draw right now but, ultimately, whatever happens they've made a great start to their Nations League campaign.
Hungary Predicted lineup – Gulacai, Lang, Orban, Szalai, Nego, Nagy, Schafer, Nagy, Sallai, Szoboszlai, Szalai
