Team Analysis
Ireland's performance of late has been less than impressive, winning just two of the last eleven games across all competitions, both victories against Gibraltar. The team, under interim manager John O'Shea, are at the start of a new process, as evident from the goalless draw against Belgium and a close 0-1 home loss to Switzerland in March. Still, they have not shown promise in the final third of the field in these matches.

On the other hand, Hungary go into this match on the back of three successive wins in all competitions. Their display during the qualifying run was quite successful, as they went unbeaten in Group G with five wins and three draws in eight matches. Head coach Marco Rossi will be carrying the momentum of the recent wins over Serbia into this game.

Head-to-Head
Republic of Ireland and Hungary have previously played seven matches, two of which had both teams scoring. Their style of play also makes this match a low-scoring expectation since Ireland have been playing very defensive-minded football, with none of the last four games they played having more than three goals. Hungary has also kept a clean sheet in the recent wins over Turkey and Kosovo earlier this year.

Odds Analysis
The speculated odds for this forthcoming match are relatively interesting. Hungary is tipped to win, with returns estimated at £27.00 for a £10 play. Similarly, for the under 2.5 goals market, the returns stand at £17.20. Predictions for a correct score of Hungary winning 1-0 stand at £85.00. However, one must take note that in sports results can be unpredictable and these odds simply represent the most likely outcomes according to statistical analysis and recent form.

Pick: Hungary to win
