Hungary host Kazakhstan in Bergen on June 9 in what looks like a comfortable evening’s work for Marco Rossi’s side. Hungary arrive off the back of a narrow 2-1 win over Finland just days ago, while Kazakhstan could only manage a 1-1 draw against Armenia in their most recent outing. The gap in class is clear, yet Kazakhstan have shown in the past that they are capable of grinding out results against stronger opposition. One player worth watching closely is Barnabás Varga, who bagged both goals in Hungary’s win over Finland and looks sharp heading into this fixture. For Kazakhstan, the creative burden will fall on whoever Talgat Baysufinov trusts in the final third, making the defensive solidity of Willi Orbán at the back for Hungary a key factor in shutting that door early.
Hot stat: Barnabás Varga scored both of Hungary’s goals against Finland, accounting for 100% of his team’s output from just two shots on target. That kind of efficiency in front of goal makes him the most dangerous individual on the pitch come Tuesday.

Hungary vs Kazakhstan Prediction
The bookmakers price Hungary at an average of 75% implied probability, and we agree that a Hungary win is the most sensible outcome to back here. Their 4-2-3-1 shape gives them structure in midfield while allowing Varga and the wide forwards space to operate. Kazakhstan’s 4-3-3 can look decent in possession, but their recent draw with Armenia showed a side that struggles to convert pressure into goals.
Hungary’s discipline is also worth noting. In their last five matches they averaged 12 fouls per game with only 3 yellow cards across that stretch, which suggests a composed team that does not lose its shape under pressure. Kazakhstan, by contrast, had no recorded stats available for their last five matches as a unit, making it harder to gauge their discipline and passing rhythm heading in. That lack of data alone signals a side that has not been tested at this level consistently.
We predict Hungary to win and keep a clean sheet. Varga’s form is too good to ignore, and Kazakhstan’s inability to find the net against Armenia does not inspire confidence in their attacking output here.

Team Analysis
Hungary have looked sharp in June. Their win over Finland was not a fluent 90 minutes by any means, but it was a professional performance that showed mental strength. They had gone into that match on a mixed run of form, with draws against Greece and a win over Slovenia building momentum through the international window. The Greece stalemate was a 0-0, which suggests Hungary are not always free-scoring, but they found their clinical edge when it mattered against Finland. Rossi’s squad appears settled in its structure, with Szoboszlai pulling strings in midfield and Varga leading the line with real purpose.
Kazakhstan’s campaign this June has been modest. Their 1-1 draw with Armenia is the most recent reference point, and it tells a story of a team that can compete but cannot find a way to win. Earlier in the year they beat Comoros and Namibia, results that flatter their standing given the level of those opponents. Their 0-1 loss to the Faroe Islands in November and a 1-1 draw with Belgium show inconsistency at the core. Baysufinov’s side can defend in blocks, but they rarely impose themselves on better teams. Against Hungary’s organized press and Varga’s movement, they will need to be at their best defensively just to keep the scoreline respectable.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Hungary the Favourite
- Moneyline Hungary 1.22 | Kazakhstan 8.50
- Draw 5.25
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
The odds on Hungary are tight across most bookmakers, ranging from 1.05 to 1.24. That reflects just how dominant the market expects them to be. The value on a Kazakhstan win at 8.50 to 12.50 is not worth chasing given their recent form. The draw price of around 5.25 to 6.25 is similarly unattractive. Hungary at odds around 1.22 to 1.24 is the cleanest play here, and pairing it with a clean sheet or first goal scorer market on Varga adds more substance to the bet.
Possible Starting Lineups
Hungary Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Péter Szappanos
- DF: Willi Orbán, Attila Osváth
- MF: Milos Kerkez, András Schäfer, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alex Tóth, Milan Vitális, Callum Styles
- FW: Barnabás Varga, Roland Sallai
Rossi is likely to stick with the 4-2-3-1 that served him well against Finland. Szoboszlai sits at the heart of the attack, with Schäfer and Vitális providing cover in front of the back four. Willi Orbán is the leader at the back, and his reading of the game will be key if Kazakhstan try to hit on the counter. Varga is the name to watch at the top of the press. He plays with aggression and smart movement, and if he gets service early, this could be over before half-time.
Kazakhstan’s player-level data was not available from recent matches, which makes it difficult to name a specific lineup with confidence. Baysufinov has used a 4-3-3 in recent games, and that shape is likely to remain. The priority for Kazakhstan will be compactness and discipline in the first 20 minutes. If they concede early, the game could get very difficult very fast against a Hungary side that is comfortable managing a lead.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Hungary are the clear pick here. Their last five matches show 18 shots, 11 interceptions, and a pass accuracy of around 84%, pointing to a team that controls games rather than reacting to them. Varga’s two-goal showing against Finland is recent enough to matter, and Kazakhstan’s attacking blank against Armenia does not suggest they will cause problems at the other end.
We predict a Hungary win with a clean sheet. The most likely scoreline is something in the 2-0 to 3-0 range. Back Hungary to win, and consider Varga as an anytime scorer at a price that still offers some return given the short moneyline on the home side.
