Sharing the love
A result is too difficult to call in this one, as form, talent and head-to-head meetings all seem to contradict one another, however, one thing we can seem to count on, is goals.
Hungary had been enjoying their time against lesser soccer-rich nations, yet when they encountered a side that could give them a run for their money, Czech Republic and Serbia, both Euro 2024 teams, all that can be boasted is a goals at either end on the pitch.
Switzerland on the other hand have made a habit of scoring, and then failing to keep a clean sheet, something that has occurred in five of their last ten.
Head-to-head clashes aid this line as well, as both of their most recent meetings saw both get on the scoresheet in regulation.
The same should hold true in this one and, with no clear winner in sight, is a good option at near evens.

Goals Galore
In addition to both sides getting on the scoresheet, we are also looking for at least a winner, or perhaps another few goals in this one, though for who, we do not know.
The last two meetings between these sides saw an insane 12-goals scored, as the matches finished 5-2 and 3-2, both in regulation.
Hungary equally hasn’t shied away from high-scoring clashes of late, with seven of their last ten seeing the over 2.5 goals line hit.
If the both teams to score line lands then we are already 2/3 of the way to the over 2.5 goals line, and with these sides’ respective meetings, one could bank on their being more than a few goals in store.

Nibbling at their Heels
Despite this being their very first game at this summer’s Euros, Hungary are expected to come flying out of the gate, potentially drawing the ire of the referee.
They haven’t exactly been the cleanest of sides of late, averaging a massive 2.6 cards per game, seeing at least two earned in 90% of their games.
Tournament jitters are liable to get the better of them, as seemed to in their warm-up game with Israel, as they picked up three bookings.
Hungary looks to be the less composed of they two sides, as they may end up on the back foot, frustrated and committing infractions in a bid to get back into it.
