Keeping up with Germany in this Nations League group A. After a high-flying duel against the Mannschaft last time out, Ronald Koeman's side travel to Hungary determined to get back to winning ways. Impressive in attack, with seven goals scored in 180 minutes, the Oranje will have to find the right key to their defensive lock, as conceding two goals on average during this period is not a good point for a selection of this level. What's more, the Oranje have not produced a clean sheet in their last four games, which points to a real problem in the Dutch flying backline. Faced with a Hungarian side in great difficulty, the opportunity seems to be there to win in style at the end of regulation time. 

Despite the presence of some good players, the Hungarian national team endured a difficult September. Defeated 5-0 by Germany, Marco Rosso's men were unable to respond to the Bosnia-Herzegovina match with a draw in every sense of the word. With no goals scored in two games, the Magyars' ability to score in the last sixteen - an essential parameter in soccer - is a cause for concern. It's now up to the national eleven to rediscover their best possible form in front of their home fans, in order to believe in their chances of success against an opponent who is far superior on paper.
