I’m expecting a home win here.

Hungary is a national team who improved a lot in the recent year. They have a very difficult group in the Euro (Portugal, France and Germany) but still will fight for sure.

They are in excellent shape, unbeaten in the last 10 games played with 7 wins and 3 draws. That’s true also that some of those games were against weak sides (Cyprus, Andorra, San Marino…) but also others against good sides like Turkey or Poland.

Coach Rossi confirmed that on this match will use the same lineup as against Portugal in the EURO opening game, so I’m expecting a very competitive Hungary here. They have been playing together for a while and qualified for a major tournament, so confidence is high.

On the other hand, Ireland is a very weak side. They beat Andorra 1-4 this week, but at 52’ they were 1-0 down and playing so bad. That victory was the first one in the last 12 games played.

The mood in the team is low, it has been a difficult year and their results have been too bad, including the fact that they weren’t able to qualify to the Euro. In the World Cup 2022 qualification results have not been good either, as they started the campaign losing both matches against Serbia and Luxembourg and sitting fourth in Grupo A.

This one will be their last competitive match until September.

I’m expecting a better attitude by Hungary, who has more quality in my opinion. This will be their last test before Portugal’s game in the Euro, with the best lineup and full of confidence thanks to their recent results. Ireland will be just one more friendly, the last one before holidays, so I can’t see them at the same competitive level as Hungary here.

我预测匈牙利能够取胜。

匈牙利最近一年进步很大。他们在欧洲杯（葡萄牙、法国和德国）中有一个非常艰难的小组，但仍然肯定会战斗。 他们状态极佳，近10场比赛7胜3平保持不败。当然其中一些比赛是对阵弱队（塞浦路斯、安道尔、圣马力诺……），但也有其他比赛是对阵土耳其或波兰等强队。

罗西教练证实，本场比赛将使用与欧洲杯首场对阵葡萄牙相同的阵容，所以我认为本场匈牙利会非常具有侵略性。他们已经在一起训练了一段时间，能够参加重大比赛，所以信心很高。

另一方面，爱尔兰是一个非常弱的球队。本周他们以4-1击败安道尔，但在 52 分钟时他们以0-1落后并且表现得非常糟糕。这场胜利是过去12 场比赛中的第一场胜利。

球队情绪低落，这是艰难的一年，他们的成绩太糟糕了，没有获得欧洲杯资格。在 2022 年世界杯预选赛中，他们的成绩也并不好，在与塞尔维亚和卢森堡的两场比赛中都输掉了比赛，在 A 组中排名第四。

这将是他们在 9 月之前的最后一场比赛。

匈牙利的态度更好，在我看来，他的实力更高。这将是他们在欧洲杯赛前的最后一次考验，凭借近期的成绩，球队信心满满。爱尔兰只把本场当作另一场友谊赛，假期前的最后一场比赛，所以我不认为他们会拿出和匈牙利相同的竞技水平。
