Competition: UEFA Nations League
Date: Saturday, 16th November 2024
Kickoff: 21:45 EAT (Africa/Nairobi)
Venue: Johan Cruijff Arena (Amsterdam)
Our detailed analysis suggests a Home Win or Over 2.5 Goals as the most probable outcome for this crucial Nations League encounter.
The Dutch national team has demonstrated remarkable resilience in their recent fixtures, maintaining an impressive home record with just two defeats in their last ten matches. Their attacking prowess at the Johan Cruijff Arena has been particularly noteworthy, having netted 12 goals in their previous five home encounters.
Team News: Ronald Koeman’s squad has shown excellent offensive capabilities, especially in home fixtures where they’ve consistently found the back of the net.
Hungary’s recent away form has been concerning, with no victories in seven of their last ten away fixtures. Their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed, conceding nine goals in their previous three away defeats.
Team News: Despite showing fighting spirit in their recent 2-0 victory against Bosnia & Herzegovina, their away form remains a significant concern.

• Home Advantage: Netherlands’ impressive record at Johan Cruijff Arena
• Scoring Consistency: The Dutch side averaging 2.4 goals per home game
• Hungary’s Away Struggles: Poor defensive record with 9 goals conceded in last 3 away games
• Historical Performance: Netherlands unbeaten in 9 consecutive matches against Hungary
Given the Netherlands’ dominant home record and Hungary’s defensive vulnerabilities on the road, we anticipate a high-scoring affair favoring the home side. The Dutch team’s recent goal-scoring form, combined with Hungary’s tendency to concede away from home, strongly supports our prediction of a Home Win or Over 2.5 Goals.
