Prediction: 2-2
Sweden
Hungary will try to make amends for back-to-back Nations League defeats to Turkey when they take on Sweden in a friendly on Friday evening. Hungary continue relying on Liverpool ace Dominic Szoboszlai and the creative playmaker is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. Ferencvaros attacker Barnabas Varga is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
The Swedes, on the other hand, rolled over Northern Ireland 5-1 in their last warm-up game, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Budapest. With the likes of Alexander Isak and Victor Gyokeres up front, we are positive that Sweden will find the net in Saturday’s clash. Given Hungary’s attacking potential at home, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute against Northern Ireland.
Highlighted Player (Willi Orban):
Willi Orban was born on 3 November, 1992 in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Orban plays as a centre back, but he can operate as a defensive midfielder as well. The 185-cm-tall footballer is a product of Kaiserslautern’s youth academy and he played 35 league games for the reserve team between 2011 and 2013.
Orban made his debut for the first team in 2011, against Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. The Kaiserslautern footballer made 68 league appearances for Kaiserslautern, scoring 7 goals for the German outfit between 2011 and 2015, but in May 2015 he signed a contract with Leipzig. Kaislerslautern fans were very angry with the defender when he decided to join die Bullen.
Willi Orban has two caps for Germany U21, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior team. He has a contract with Leipzig, which expires on 30 June, 2019. Willi Orban has a dual citizenship (Germany, Hungary).
Highlighted Team (Sweden):
Sweden are the most successful Nordic side on international stage having been present at major competitions since 1934. Blagult missed out on the 1952 World Cup trophy on home soil as they were beaten by star-studded Brazil side, while they finished in third place at the 1950 and 1994 tournaments, and finishing fourth on their second appearance in 1938.
As far as their European Championship record is concerned, Sweden also achieved their best result in front of home fans, reaching the last four in 1992, and they have since reached the quarter-finals at Euro 1994 in Portugal.
Anders Svensson and Thomas Ravelli are team’s most capped players with over 140 appearances each, but it is strikers Henrik Larsson and Zlatan Ibrahimovic that will go down as the most famous Swedish footballers in history. The later also leads the goalscoring charts with over 60 strikes for the national team and he is widely regarded as one of the most colourful characters, not only in Scandinavia, but in world football.
