5 Hungary players that could cause England problems in Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier
England face Hungary tonight at Wembley Stadium in their second World Cup qualifier of the international break.
The two sides met only last month when England came out 4-0 winners but the racist abuse from the Hungarian locals was the main topic of conversation following the full-time whistle.
After beating Andorra on Saturday night, England remain top of their World Cup qualifying group, while Hungary sit in fourth and are unable to leapfrog third-place Poland even if they are to defeat the Three Lions this evening.
While Gareth Southgate’s side weren’t too troubled by Hungary in September’s meeting, the Magyars caused a couple of upsets during the Euro 2020 tournament as they held both France and Germany to draws in their group of death.
England will be hoping to replicate the previous scoreline, however here are five players that could potentially cause them some problems in the London clash...
1. Peter Gulacsi
Peter Gulacsi is one of Hungary's most experienced players with 43 caps and is one of real talent. The goalkeeper has made over 200 appearances for RB Leipzig and also won four domestic trophies during his two year stint with RB Salzburg. The 31-year-old has three clean sheets in the Bundesliga this season. Photo: Michael Regan
2. Dominik Szoboszlai
Dominik Szoboszlai has made 16 appearances for his country - scoring three goals. In club football his superb form at RB Salzburg earned him a reported €20 million move to RB Leipzig and he became the most expensive Hungarian player in history. The 20-year-old has two goals and two assists in six matches so far this season. Photo: ATTILA KISBENEDEK
3. Willi Orbán
Willi Orbán has 27 caps for Hungary and has also scored five goals from defence for his country. The centre-back previously played for Germany's U21 side but opted to represent Hungary in 2018. Orban has also played over 150 games for RB Leipzig and has scored almost 20 goals for them - showing he could prove dangerous at both ends of the pitch. Photo: Laszlo Szirtesi
4. Roland Sallai
Roland Sallai has earned 29 caps for Hungary - scoring four goals. The winger has scored twice in the World Cup qualifiers so far and also bagged two assists in three matches during the Euro 2020 tournament. The 24-year-old also plays for Bundesliga side SC Freiburg and scored eight goals and assisted three during the 2020/21 campaign. Photo: Laszlo Szirtesi
