LIVE: Hungary vs France | EURO 2020
9:00 ET Canada-USA | 15:00 Cairo Local Time
Venue: Puskas Arena
Referee: Michael Oliver (England)
We’re already getting to crunch time in the group stage of UEFA Euro 2020 and that means we’ve got plenty of thrilling games ahead of us in the days to come. There are many storylines heading into the next set of fixtures but, arguably, one of the biggest comes in the supposed Group of Death in Group F.
Today, we’re going to be taking a look at what should prove to be a really intriguing meeting of the minds between Hungary and France as the march to the knockout stage continues.
Hungary
Hungary weren’t expected to do a whole lot heading into this tournament but what they’ve been able to prove thus far is that they’ve got a whole lot of heart. That probably isn’t going to do them a whole lot of good in a group as competitive as the one they’re in but if they can give either France or Germany a bloody nose before we call time on their stint in Euro 2020, we think that’ll give them a lot of pride to take away heading into World Cup qualifying season.
Nego is being seen as a potential option to feature in this game with Sallai being a fitness doubt, even after starting against Portugal. Elsewhere, Szoboszlai and Kalmar are still going to miss out through injury, try your luck with online casino and enjoy all the bonuses available on their website.
France
France are the world champions and they also happen to have the best squad depth, arguably, in international football. They’ve been the favourites to win Euro 2020 for a long time and now that we’ve actually been able to see them in action, we’re even more confident in backing that idea.
They need to stick to their guns, keep playing their own style of football and they’ll be easing through to the latter stages of the knockouts before we know it.
Pavard is a fitness doubt for this one after being knocked out in the win over Germany. Elsewhere, Benzema is expected to feature after a decent showing in their opener, with very little rotation expected from Didier Deschamps.
