Hungary vs. England Tip & Odds, 02.09.2021 – 20:45 – World Cup Qualification Europe
2021 could not have been more unhappy for the English national football team. The Three Lions have won all international games except for the European Championship final at Wembley Stadium and the only defeat was against Italy after a penalty shootout, thus missing the first European Championship title in history.
The Magyarok also participated in the EURO and, despite regular appearances in the group stage, was eliminated early after three games.
A look at the Hungary – England betting odds reveals that the online sports betting provider is consistently pushing the Three Lions to the clear favourite role. A tip on England comes with odds on average of 1.40. But given the good performance of Hungarians at the EURO 2021, does the low odds justify betting on England at all? What other alternatives to betting are available?

Marco Rossi’s national team made its last appearance in the World Championship qualification on the last day of March this year and did justice to the favourite role in Andorra. With a clear 4:1 Hungary underpinned its World Cup aspirations for next year in Qatar. Attila Fiola (45th +1), Daniel Gazdag (51st), Laszlo Kleinheisler (58th) and Lioc Nego (90th) scored the goals for the Magyarok. Marc Pujol scored the goal of honour for Andorra by penalties in the extra time (90th +3rd).
The Rossi-Elf is second behind England after the home game against Poland on the first day (3:3) as well as the two away appearances in San Marino (3:0) and Andorra (4:1). With a home win at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary would take the lead in Group I.
The European Championship a few weeks ago was finished after the preliminary round, but the Hungarian national team sold well in the highest quality group. The first European Championship game against the then defending champion Portugal was lost with 0:3. However, two draws followed against major football nations such as world champions France (1:1) and Germany (2:2).
The Hungarians have already participated in a World Cup nine times, but the last eight finals have been missed by the Eastern Europeans. Most recently, they were present in Mexico in 1986 and retired after the group phase. The Magyaroks were runners-up twice – in 1938 they lost the final to France and in 1954 to Germany.
Hungary is one of the best teams with 10 goals in the World Cup qualifying offensive. Just three teams scored even more. Rolland Sallai (SC Freiburg) and Adam Szalai (Mainz 05) from the Bundesliga are responsible for almost half of the goals with two goals each.

The vice European champion increased in the EURO with each game and was also deservedly in the final. During the group stage, the Three Lions scored only two goals – Croatia (1-0), Scotland (0-0), and the Czech Republic (1-0). From the sixteen finals onwards, it also became more offensive with a 2-0 win against arch rivals Germany and a 4-0 win against Ukraine in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, the team of Gareth Southgate beat the surprise team from Denmark 2-1 after extra time and then lost the European Championship final against Italy after penalty shootouts. This means that in the motherland of football, people are still waiting for the first win of a European Championship.
The Southgate team did their homework in the World Cup quali a few months earlier and started with a 5-0 home win over San Marino. In Albania (2:0) and in the last qualiduell home against Poland (2:1) the waistcoat remained white and they lead the group confidently with nine points and only one conceded goal. The goals for the island footballers against Poland were scored by Harry Kane (19th) and Harry Maguire in the final period (85th). Jakub Moder marked the interim equalization after just under an hour (58th).
At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the English national team already made a good impression and advanced to the semi-finals. The 1966 World Champion won the first two group games against Tunisia (2-1) and Panama (6-1) and then lost 0-1 to Belgium, but was already qualified for the sixteen final before the Red Devils duel. There, the Three Lions beat Colombia on penalties and then sent Sweden home in the quarter-finals (2-0). In the semi-finals, England faced Croatia and, after extra time, drew the shortest (1:2). The game for third place went to the Devils (0-2) in the second World Cup game against Belgium.
With nine qualification goals, the offensive of England is also one of the most accurate in the current competition. The Three Lions also have two actors who have done two stands each, making them the best clippers for their country – Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Harry Kane.

England is favourites in Hungary for the fourth victory in the fourth World Cup qualifying game. The Three Lions have been in really good shape for years now and just missed out on the title in the final against Italy at the European Championships this summer. With a good start to the World Cup quali and a 2-1 home win over Poland against the strongest rival in the group, the vice European champion will hardly be able to take the World Cup final in Qatar next year.
However, the Magyarok is still unbeaten in qualifying and has no bad cards with the home game in the Puskas Arena. At least the ROSSI-ELF made a good impression at the EURO against strong national teams and wants to confirm their performance against England. We are guessing that Hungary will at least not lose and the duel will end with a goal-rich draw.
In connection with this, we personally distance ourselves from the direct betting on England wins, because the odds for the 3-way bets are simply too low and a surprise is in the realm of what is possible. We believe that there will be a two-sided goal cheer and therefore recommend the tip to “Meet both teams? Yes”. The offered Hungary – England odds are on average for this sportsbook tip beyond the mark of 2.10.
