Bulgaria vs Hungary Prediction and Betting Tips | November 16th 2023

Bulgaria will host Hungary at the Hristo Botev Stadium on Thursday in another round of the 2024 European Championship qualifiers.

The home side have endured a poor Euro qualifying campaign and remain without a win in the competition so far. They were beaten 2-0 by Lithuania in their last group game, starting the match as the far better side before a red card to Andrian Kraev late in the first half saw the game's momentum swing the way of their opponents who capitalized on their numerical advantage.

Hungary, meanwhile, have performed strongly in the continental qualifiers and are well on course to secure a third straight appearance in the final tournament. They played out a 2-2 draw against Lithuania last time out, finding themselves two goals down at the break before goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Barnabas Varga helped level the scores late in the game.

The visitors sit atop the Group G standings with 14 points from six games. Victory on Thursday will see the Magyarok confirm their spot as group winners and advance to the group stages of the final tournament.

Bulgaria vs Hungary Prediction

Bulgaria are on a four-game losing streak and are without a win in their last nine games across all competitions, a run dating back to November last year. They have won just one of their last six competitive home games and could struggle here.

Hungary, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last 10 games across all competitions, picking up six wins and four draws in that period. They are in far better form than their midweek opponents and should come out on top on Thursday.

Prediction: Bulgaria 1-2 Hungary
