The Euro 2024 qualifier Group G match between Hungary and Bulgaria is scheduled for Monday, March 27 at 9:45 p.m. at the Puskas Arena in Budapest and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 3 and Prima Sport 2.

Hungary and Bulgaria are likely to battle it out alongside Montenegro for 2nd place in Group G (Lithuania doesn’t seem to count), in which Serbia, the only team in the group to be at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, are heavy favorites to qualify.

The top two places in each of the ten groups will qualify for the final tournament in Germany along with the host nation, while the other three places will be decided after the Nations League play-offs in March 2024.

Hungary will make their debut in these qualifiers after they played a friendly against Estonia (1-0) in Budapest last week (M. Adam 41), in which the highlight was the display of a “Greater Hungary” map by the hardcore Hungarian gallery faction “Carpathian Brigade” “.

The team coached by Italian Marco Rossi are coming off the back of an extraordinary campaign in the Nations League, a competition which saw them finish 2nd in a group won by Italy, in which they beat England twice (1-0 at home and 4-0 away ) and scored four points with Germany (1-1 at home and 1-0 away).

Bulgaria started this qualifying campaign with a 0-1 defeat at home to Montenegro (Krstovic 70) and look set to miss out on another European final (they have only made it to two finals, in 1996 and 2004, exiting the competition at the knockout stage each time groups).

Bulgaria will be coached from summer 2022 by Mladen Krstaic, a former international with 48 caps for Serbia and Montenegro and a further 11 for Serbia, who spent his Bundesliga career with Werder Bremen (four seasons) and Schalke (five seasons).

He was appointed as coach at the height of the Nations League campaign, a competition in which Bulgaria finished 2nd in Group 4 of League C, in which they drew with Gibraltar (1-1 away) and lost on penalties to Georgia (2-5 home).

The last time these two teams met in the play-offs before Euro 2020, when Hungary won the match against Bulgaria, right in Sofia, the score was 3-1, the goals were scored by Orban 17, Kalmar 47, Nikolic 75 respectively, Jomov 90 (later, the Hungarians also beat Iceland 2-1 and qualified for the final tournament).
