Wales currently occupy the third place in Group E. They have eleven points from seven matches, one less than second-placed Hungary. Croatia have already secured the first place. Wales have a chance to secure a ticket for Euro 2020, but need to beat the Hungarians here. The Dragons played solid in the qualifications and have a record of three victories, two draws and two defeats. They managed to beat outsiders Azerbaijan home and away, plus Slovakia at home. The 1:1 away draw at Slovakia was also a good result, as well as the home draw with Croatia. Nevertheless, the defeats to Hungary and Croatia were not satisfying results, although the last one was expected. After all, it is not a shame to lose from the World vice-Champions. But that's not important now, this is the crucial match for Wales. Manager
Ryan Giggs' future heavily depends on this match. A possible success will bring him a glory, but a failure could lead to his change. He has the majority of his players available for this match. Joe Allen, who missed the victory over Azerbaijan through suspension, is now available. Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey featured some 30 minutes at the weekend due to previous injury issues, but may start here. That means both stars Ramsey and Bale will start together for the first time in the qualifications.
Hungary are on the second position in Group E with twelve points. It is clear they need to remain unbeaten in Cardiff to qualify for Euro 2020. Coach Marco Rossi composed a solid squad and the fans are satisfy with the results. Hungary have four victories and three defeats from the seven group matches. Their biggest achievement is the victory against the World vice-Champions Croatia. Hungary came from behind and won 2:1 in Budapest. The goals were scored by Adam Szalai and Mate Patkai. However, something else is a problem - the away form. They have one win and two defeats on the three matches played on road so far. Hungary secured a 3:1 win over minnows Azerbaijan, but lost the remaining two fixtures. They suffered a 2:0 defeat in Bratislava and a 3:0 defeat in Croatia. As You could see, Hungary failed to score a single goal on the mentioned two away matches. I believe the players confidence is questionable ahead of this crucial game. The Hungarians will try not to lose at Cardiff City Stadium, but it will be extremely difficult without scoring. Rossi has some additional issues. He will be without midfielder Zsolt Kalmar who picked up an injury in Friday's friendly match with Uruguay. He was replaced by David Holman and the 26-year-old is likely to start here. Goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi should return in goal after being rested on that match.
Wales vs Hungary Prediction:
The situation is simple for Wales, if they win here, they will qualify for Euro 2020. Hungary, meanwhile, have enjoyed a solid qualifying campaign and will be no pushovers in this one. However, their away form is poor. That is why I am expecting Wales to win. They have a player able to make difference - Gareth Bale. His experience and quality should be crucial.
