LAST MEETING
June 5, 2010: Netherlands 6-1 Hungary
The two sides last met in the summer of 2010 when Netherlands were preparing for the World Cup. Most of the Hungarian players had finished their season a while before and Oranje cruised to a comfortable 6-1 win to get a real confidence boost ahead of the 2010 World Cup. The match will be remembered by many for the hamstring injury Dutch winger Arjen Robben picked up during the game.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Hungary: Kiraly; Lazar, Liptak, Juhasz, Laczko; Elek, Vadocz; Gera, Hajnal, Dzsudzsak; Rudolf
Netherlands: Vorm; Van der Wiel, Heitinga, Mathijsen, Pieters; De Jong, Van der Vaart; Kuyt, Sneijder, Afellay; Van Persie
Prediction
Despite the absence of several important players, Netherlands will start the match as sky-high favourites. Oranje have won all their qualifying games since Euro'08 and have impressed in their previous four games. Hungary won't be pushovers though as they've also won three out of their four qualifiers. The individual quality of the away side will eventually prove to too much for Hungary though and Holland will cruise to a relatively easy away win.
Hungary 1-3 Netherlands
