Hungary will host France in the second round of the Euros at the Ferenc Puskas Stadium in Budapest on 19th July 2021 at 18:30 IST. The odds are clearly in favor of the French side to win the match and put a stronger foot in the top two spots.

Teams Status

Hungary

Hungary are coming on the back of a heartbreaking loss against Portugal. The Hungarians started off brilliantly in the first half and kept Portugal at bay. They came out attacking in the second half and managed to find the back of the net but was disallowed due to offside. They conceded three goals after the 84th minute which handed them a 3-0 defeat. Hungary were dominated by Portugal in terms of possession, shots and shots on target. They finished in the fourth position of the group in the qualifiers but still managed to make it to the Euros after beating Bulgaria in the playoffs semifinals and Iceland in the qualifier playoffs finals. They are currently in a really tough group where bagging a single point looks like an uphill task but they would want to try their best to get at least one point.

France

France are coming off a brilliant win over their arch rivals Germany. France started off on the back foot early in the first half, and then took the lead in the form of an own goal by Mats Hummels. Then they managed to find the back of the net twice but both the goals were ruled out due to offside. France didn’t have much of the ball as they just had 38% off the possession and had taken just four shots. Their defense was also pretty solid as they conceded just one shot on goal despite having ten shots. It looks like they have crossed the first hurdle in the group of death. They are just continuing what they had done in the qualifiers as they won eight matches, drew one and lost just one match while accumulating 25 points in the process and finished at the top of their group.

Tipster’s Angle

The current world champions are in exceptional form and they have a slightly better edge over the Hungarians. Also, this could be a high scoring thriller as these two teams produced in the previous head to head.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.84

A total of three goals were scored in the last head to head match that these two teams played in a competitive tournament. In the last ten matches that Hungary had played across competitions, over 2.5 goals were scored in five of those matches. While France had seen over 2.5 goals in four of the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. France were excellent in offense against Germany where they managed to score three goals but unfortunately, two goals were ruled out due to offside. Hungary on the other hand had conceded three goals against Portugal. So, it is very likely that over 2.5 goals will be scored at 1.84 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: France -1.5 @ 1.94

France won the last head to head match by a 3-0 margin and covered the -1.5 spread in that. Both the teams were in some good form coming into this tournament. France just lost one match in the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. Also, France have covered the spread in four of the last eight matches that they have played. Despite Hungary also losing just one match in their last ten, this group is an entirely different scenario. Hungary failed to cover the spread in their opening match against Portugal where they lost 0-3 and this match could also feature a similar scoreline. So, France covering the spread of -1.5 is a very likely possibility. And 1.94 odds are available for the same at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Conclusion

France have crossed the first hurdle that is to beat Germany in their opening night and for them, Hungary should be an easier opponent compared to the other opponents in the group. A win here for France could seal them a top-two spot
