Hungary vs Georgia preview
Hungary host Georgia in the UEFA Nations League on October 2, 2026, at 18:45 UTC at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest. Both teams currently compete in League B, Group 2, and enter this third matchday seeking their first goal of the 2026-27 campaign. Hungary, managed by Marco Rossi, sit third in the group with one point following a 1-0 defeat to Ukraine and a goalless draw against Northern Ireland. Georgia, led by head coach Ramaz Svanadze, are bottom of the section with one point after losing 1-0 to Northern Ireland and drawing 0-0 with Ukraine.
This encounter marks the third-ever meeting between the two nations. Hungary’s recent Nations League form includes a relegation from League A in the previous tournament, while Georgia continues their progression in League B. Both sides are under pressure to secure a result to improve their standing in the group, as neither has managed to find the back of the net in their opening two fixtures. Dominik Szoboszlai is expected to be central to Hungary's attacking efforts, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains a key figure for the visiting side as they look to overcome their current scoring drought.
