Hungary vs Georgia Tips & Predictions – Home Advantage in the UEFA Nations League
Georgia has been facing a tough period, struggling both in terms of match results and team chemistry. As a result, the management decided to part ways with coach Willy Sagnol. These internal troubles could give Hungary a significant edge when they face off on Friday. The outlook strongly favors Hungary, who are expected to make the most of Georgia’s instability and secure all three points.

Georgia had a lot of problems in their road games recently, plus they recently sacked national coach Willy Sagnol. I am predicting Hungary to claim the spoils despite missing a couple of important players.

Two Meetings so Far
These two sides locked horns in the WC Qualifiers in 2001. Hungary won at home 4-1, while Georgia returned the favor with a 4-1 victory in Tbilisi.
Hosts are in a Must-Win Situation
Hungary had 2.03-1.29 expected goals, 57% possession and 17-10 shots last Friday against Ukraine at home in their UNL opening match yet lost the encounter 1-0. Defender Bendeguz Bolla missed a big chance to level the score.
Marco Rossi's side haven't shown much in the follow up clash against Northern Ireland in Belfast which ended in a goalless draw.
They had 64% possession but failed to make much out of it, ending the match with just one shot on target and 0.94-0.91 expected goals.
Georgia Under New Leadership
Like their upcoming opponents, Georgia also had high expectations ahead of the new UNL campaign but secured just one point in first two games.
After suffering an unexpected 1-0 home loss against Northern Ireland last Friday, Georgian FA decided to sack national coach Willy Sagnol, while Ramaz Svanadze was appointed to replace the Frenchman.
Svanadze’s debut was on Monday where Georgia hosted Ukraine. They were more dangerous side, posting 0.96-0.20 xG and had 14-7 shots yet had to settle for a goalless draw.
Team News & Predicted Lineups
Hungary (4-2-3-1) Balazs Toth; Bendeguz Bolla, Willi Orban, Mark Csinger, Milos Kerkez; Andras Schafer, Aron Csongvai; Gabor Jurek, Alex Toth, Dominik Szoboszlai; Daniel Lukacs
Hungary have to deal with several squad fitness concerns, as key attackers Roland Sallai, Barnabas Varga, and Callum Styles remain sidelined with physical injuries, while defender Bendeguz Bolla stays doubtful due to an ankle problem.

Verdict
Georgia have been struggling recently both with results and chemistry, which resulted in sacking of coach Willy Sagnol. I expect Hungary to take advantage of this and claim three points on Friday.
