Hungary plays host to Serbia at the Puskas Arena in Group 3 of League B in the Nations League this weekend. The Hungarians are second in the group with seven points from four games, while Serbia are bottom with two points from the same number of outings. Serbia can't catch a break at the moment, losing a Euro 2020 (set to be played in the summer of 2021) play-off at home against Scotland in midweek. It means that the wait for a first European Championships since 2000 goes on. It also means that they have failed to win six of their last seven matches in all competitions. Away from home, Serbia have failed to win two of their last three contests. They face Hungary in the hope that they avenge the 1-0 defeat their hosts inflicted upon them in the reverse fixture.

Hungary can't relate to this kind of disappointment at the minute. Their own Euro 2020 excursion went swimmingly, a 2-1 victory over Iceland earning their place at the finals next summer. The triumph was secured in the most dramatic way imaginable with Hungary trailing until the 88th minute, after which they scored twice to turn the tie on its head. It extended Hungary's unbeaten run in all competitions to four matches. Their home form is less impressive with three defeats in their last five matches on home soil. Provided they didn't party too much in the wake of their midweek win, Hungary look in good shape to beat Serbia again. Back the hosts.
