Original preview

Hungary and Georgia meet with the gap between them at five points

Second-placed Hungary are five points ahead of Georgia, who sit fourth, with both sides having played four matches. Hungary arrive on a two-game winning run, while Georgia are still seeking their first victory in the competition.

Five points between them

Hungary sit second in League B Group B on seven points after four matches, while Georgia are fourth on two. The five-point gap makes this a chance for Hungary to strengthen their position and keep moving clear, while Georgia need points to stay in touch with the teams above them.

Contrasting competition runs

In their four UEFA Nations League matches, Georgia have drawn twice and lost twice, scoring no goals and conceding two. They have gone four matches without a win, and their most recent result was a draw.

Hungary have won two, drawn one and lost one in the competition, scoring three and conceding two. They come into the match after two consecutive wins and are unbeaten in three. Away from home in the Nations League, they have taken a win and a draw from two matches, scoring twice and conceding once.

Hungary edged the last meeting

Hungary won the teams’ latest meeting 1–0 in the Nations League on 2 October 2026. The UEFA match dossier also records two 2002 World Cup qualifiers: Hungary won 4–1 in June 2001 and Georgia won 3–1 in September.

A cautious contest in prospect

Georgia’s four-match competition record includes two clean sheets, but they have also failed to score in all four. Hungary have conceded only twice in the same number of matches and have scored three, giving them a modest attacking edge.

The figures point towards a close, low-scoring contest, with Georgia’s home setting offering a possible counterweight: their two home Nations League matches have brought a draw and a defeat. No named players are available to single out, so the focus falls on whether Hungary can make their recent momentum count.

Our prediction

Hungary have a narrow edge after their back-to-back wins and the sides’ latest meeting, but a draw remains a strong possibility. Georgia’s defensive record could keep the game tight, while their lack of goals makes a home victory harder to make a case for.
