Slovenia’s results and form were disastrous in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers and I don’t expect them to improve much with this roster. Hungary are backed to win in front of the home crowd. 

Key Stats  


  • Hungary have won 2 of their last 4 matches. 
  • Slovenia are winless in their last 6 matches. 

Four Previous Meetings 


Slovenia hold a 3-1 advantage against Hungary in terms of victories. 

Hungary’s WC Hope Was Ended in a Dramatic Fashion 


Hungary are coming off a disappointing World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign, finishing in 3rd place in Group F behind Portugal and the Republic of Ireland, accumulating eight points from six games. 

They were in a great position ahead of the final round, snatching a point in a 2-2 draw against heavily favored Portugal in Lisbon, before defeating Armenia 1-0 away in mid-November. 

Marco Rossi’s side needed just a point in the final clash against the Republic of Ireland at home. The score was tied 2-2 until the 96th minute, when Troy Parrott completed his hat-trick to send the Irish to the playoffs. 

Slovenia Under New Leadership 


Slovenia had a disastrous run in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers, securing just four points in six matches to finish 3rd in Group B behind Switzerland and Kosovo. 

Right after the qualifiers ended, the Dragons appointed Bostjan Cesar as the new national coach who is about to have his debut. 

In their November appearances, Slovenia were beaten at home by Kosovo 2-0, while holding Sweden to a 1-1 draw in the final round, Max Timi Elsnik being their sole scorer. 

Predicted Lineups & Team News 


Hungary (4-3-3) Balazs Toth, Roland Sollai, Willi Orban, Loic Nego, Milos Kerkez, Dominik Szoboszlai, Andras Schafer, Milos Vitalis, Szabolcs Schon, Barnabas Varaga, Daniel Lukacs

Zsolt Nagy and Attila Szalai were not called up this time for Hungary. Dominik Szoboszlai is the leading scorer on this roster with 17 goals in 62 appearances.

Slovenia (4-4-2) Igor Vekic, Petar Stojanovic, Jaka Bijol, David Zec, Erik Janza, Benjamin Verbic, Adam Gnezda Cerin, Jon Gorenc Stankovic, Svit Seslar, Andraz Sporar, Zan Vipotnik

Slovenia's star players Benjamin Sesko and Jan Oblak are going to miss this and upcoming international friendlies due to undisclosed reasons. 

Verdict

Hungary were one minute away from securing a spot in the World Cup 2026 qualifying playoffs, performing much better in this campaign than Slovenia. I am backing the Magyars to win in front of the home crowd.
