Home advantage is likely to count for very little when Hungary welcome the Netherlands to the Puskas Arena on Friday night.
The hosts have picked up just a point from their first two Nations League games and the odds appear to be stacked against them in Budapest.
In contrast, Ronald Koeman’s side have collected four points and will strongly fancy their chances of adding another three to their tally on Hungarian soil.
Read on for our full preview of what may turn out to be a goal fest, but be sure to run the rule over the latest odds before you consider placing a football bet.
And do not forget that Bet777’s live betting markets are available to add an extra dimension to the action during each and every Nations League game.
Hungary vs Netherlands

Puskas Arena, Budapest
Hungary vs Netherlands Preview
After a 5-0 hammering by Germany on Matchday 1, Hungary managed to grab a share of the spoils at home to Bosnia and Herzegovina courtesy of a goalless draw.
But that result will have done little to lift spirits ahead of the visit of the Netherlands, who put five past Bosnia and Herzegovina in their opening game before drawing 2-2 with the Germans.
AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, who caught the eye at Euro 2024, netted in both games and is just one of a host of talented players Koeman can rely on to help get the job done in Budapest.
And when you consider the Hungarians have yet to score a goal in this season’s Nations League, the home fans will not be overly hopeful of having much to cheer.
Boss Marco Rossi will fire up his side in a desperate attempt to kickstart their campaign but it appears unlikely the hosts will have enough in their locker to cause an upset.
Latest Nations League Betting Odds
Priced at 1.63, the Netherlands are overwhelming favourites to win at the Puskas Arena. There is value to be had in a draw at 3.82 but the 4.50 available for a seemingly unlikely home win will only tempt the most optimistic — and bravest — of punters.
Hungary vs Netherlands Betting Tips
When you take the form of both sides into account, Netherlands scoring over three goals is priced at a very tempting 5.10. You may also want to get stuck into the 3.01 available for the visitors to win and both teams to score.
