Digi Sport 1 and Prima Sports will host a Group G match between Hungary and Serbia for the European Championship qualifiers in Germany on Saturday, October 14 at 21:45 at the Puskas Arena in Budapest. 1.

Hungary and Serbia, the main contenders for qualification, will meet in a group derby, a game of pride that is likely to determine the order of the top two places in the final rankings.

Group G includes Hungary (10 points from four matches), Serbia (10 points from five matches), Montenegro (eight points from five matches), Bulgaria (two points from five matches) and Lithuania (two points of five matches). the conditions under which the first two places in the ranking go to Euro-2024.

In the current preliminary matches, Hungary has an excellent course, having not lost after four matches played (three wins and a draw), and in the previous match, they struck and won the derby against Serbia, the main rivals in the 1st place, away, with a score of 2 -1.

Just three days after their success in Belgrade, Marco Rossi’s side, who have the best defense in the group (conceding just one goal), played a friendly in Budapest at the Puskas Arena against the Czech Republic, which ended in a 1-1 draw in the final match before returning to Serbia.

Given that they will face Lithuania (away), Bulgaria (away) and Montenegro (home) in their last three group matches, the Hungarians would take a huge step towards the final tournament if they beat Serbia, but a draw would preserve their chances not only for qualification, but even for first place.

Serbia, for its part, remains the favorite to qualify even from 2nd place, despite a 1-2 home defeat to Hungary, and a 3-1 win at Lithuania in its previous group match.

Dragan Stojkovic’s team, who have the best attack in the group (nine goals scored), are quite possibly in terms of qualification, especially since they will play two easy games at home after leaving Hungary, against Montenegro and then Bulgaria.

The two teams last met on September 7, 2023 in Belgrade, when Serbia lost 1-2 at home to Hungary after goals from Attila Salai 10a, Barnabas Varga 34 and Willy Orban 36 respectively.
