Why Hungary are favourites

Bookmakers favour the hosts: Hungary to win is available at 2.05, the draw at 3.45 and Georgia to win at 3.80.

• Hungary have lost only once in their last five home matches.
• Like Georgia, Hungary have failed to score in their two UEFA Nations League matches, but have created more chances over that period (3.17 xG against 2.71 xG).
• Georgia's key player, Khvicha Kvarackhelija, is not yet at his best (just 1 goal and 1 assist in his last 10 matches), while Dominik Szoboszlai has become a key player at Liverpool and has already scored three goals since the start of the season.  

Form and Line-up Hungary

Hungary began the UEFA Nations League with a narrow defeat to Ukraine (0:1), but looked much better — 2.07 xG, 57% possession and 17 shots (4 on target). In their second match, Hungary played out a goalless draw with Northern Ireland (0:0) and again performed well (64% possession and 1.14 xG), but their finishing let them down (just one shot on target).

• Nine of Hungary's last 10 home matches in the UEFA Nations League have finished with Under 2.5 goals.
• Hungary have scored Under 1.5 goals in 9 of their last 10 home matches in the UEFA Nations League.
