Hungary vs Turkiye Prediction

Hungary and Turkiye are set to battle it out at Puskás Aréna on March 23, 2025, at 17:00 GMT in what promises to be a tightly contested UEFA Nations League clash. With both teams priced at 2.3 for a win, the bookmakers see this as a balanced encounter. But is it really? Let’s break it down.

Hungary vs Turkiye Prediction & Best Bet

Our AI-powered analysis suggests the best bet for this match is X2 (Away win or draw) at 1.6 odds, with a trust rating of 7.2/10. Why? Because Turkiye has a higher squad value (€353.540m vs. €183.20m), better recent form, and a slight edge in possession (54% vs. 46%).

Additionally, Hungary struggled in their last head-to-head meeting, losing 1-0 to Turkiye. While they did pull off a shock win against Germany in November 2024, their inconsistency makes them a risky bet for a straight win.

1X2 Prediction: Turkiye to Win (2) – 5.7 Confidence Rating

If you're looking for a higher-risk, higher-reward bet, backing Turkiye to win outright at 2.3 odds could be worth considering. While Hungary has home advantage, Turkiye’s recent away win against Croatia (0-1) shows they can handle tough environments.

Goals Market: Under 2.5 Goals (1.67 odds, 2.3 Trust Rating)

This match is expected to be a low-scoring affair, with our AI predicting a 0-1 final score. The stats back this up:

- Only 47.8% of UEFA Nations League matches see more than 2.5 goals.
- Hungary and Turkiye both tend to play tight, tactical matches.
- The last H2H meeting ended 1-0 in favor of Hungary.
