After eight matches, the Hungarians only finished in fourth place in the European Championships. With a record of four victories and four defeats, 12 points were scored. The gap with the top rider from Croatia was five points. On the other hand, only two counters were missing from the second place in the table in Wales. Without a doubt very bitter that the Hungarians only gave up second place in the table on the last group match day after a 0-2 draw against Wales and dropped to fourth place. Eight goals were scored in eight games and the defence had to concede a whole eleven goals.
The fourth place in the table was in the semi-finals of the KO round against Bulgaria. In the distance the Hungarians got the better start and after 17 minutes they went through Willi Orban in the lead. The landlords tried to find a suitable answer. However, this should no longer be possible before the half-time. After the change of sides, the guests made a lightning start and came to 2-0 through Kalmar after 47 minutes. The landlords were now eager to play forward and had to open more and more. After 75 minutes, this should result in Nikolic scoring 0-3. At least in the 89th minute of the game the honorary goal by Yomov succeeded. The victory is to be regarded as positive, although it is a bit high.
In the final, Marco Rossi’s team must now stand up to Iceland. Cross-competitive Hungarians have been unbeaten for three matches. Most recently, the points were shared with Russia in the Nations League after a scoreless draw. Before that, Serbia had a narrow 1-0 victory.

The Icelanders secured third place in Qualification Group H and thus qualified for the KO round for EM qualification. Six victories, a draw and three defeats were achieved in the group stage. However, 19 points won are enough for the third place in the table. The backlog to the second table was four counters. On the other hand, six points were already missing for the leader from France.
In the semi-finals of the knockout round, Romania had to compete as a group third. Against a local backdrop, the Icelanders made a strong start and went through a 2-0 double pack by Gylfi Sigurðsson in just 34 minutes. This result also reflected the pause status. After the change of sides, the guests were awarded a penalty. Maxim turned this into a hit. The large treeing of the guests did not occur and thus the hosts brought the victory over time. At this point it should be mentioned that the Romanians sometimes showed more than 60 percent possession of the ball. Nevertheless, only one direct goal was scored throughout the game. The defence of the Icelanders was largely secure.
However, the Hungarians could be a very unpleasant opponent in the final. The “Strákarnir okkar“ recently played in the UEFA Nations League with little conviction and scored two defeats. Against Denmark a 0-3 bankruptcy resulted and against Belgium a narrow 1-2 defeat jumped out in front of the home scene.

The odds for this pairing do not indicate any direct favourites. Both teams are expected to meet on an equal footing. Although the Hungarians have the right of home on their side, guests from Iceland should by no means be underestimated. None of the last five battles with Hungary could make Iceland victorious (4 defeats, one draw). As part of our betting tip forecast, we assume an open match with goals on both sides.
