Ukraine vs Hungary head-to-head preview, with the two sides meeting again in the UEFA Nations League on 5 October 2026. The numbers below are as of 3 October 2026. In this season’s competition, Ukraine sit second in Group B after three matches, while Hungary are third in the same group – the two standings sit in the identical group and are directly comparable.
Head-to-Head Record
Ukraine and Hungary have just one recorded meeting between them, dated 25 September 2026 – this is all 1 recorded meeting the data holds, so it should be treated as a starting point rather than a settled pattern. That single UEFA Nations League fixture finished 1-0 in Ukraine’s favour, giving the window an average of 1.0 total goals, with no draws and no wins yet for Hungary. With a sample this small, current form and group position are far more telling than the head-to-head itself ahead of the 5 October meeting.
| Date | Match | Score | Competition | Season |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-25 | Hungary vs Ukraine | 0-1 | UEFA Nations League | 2026-2027 |
Ukraine: Recent Form
Ukraine’s last six matches read L D W W W L, amounting to three wins, one draw and two losses, 5 goals scored against 6 conceded (0.83 for, 1.00 against per game) and 1.67 points per game. They have kept 4 clean sheets in that span but also failed to score twice. Two of those six fixtures – against Poland and Albania – were friendlies rather than competitive matches, so should be weighed accordingly. Most recently Ukraine lost 0-3 at home to Northern Ireland, having drawn 0-0 away at Georgia before that.

Three of those six matches – against Kazakhstan, Finland and Greece – were friendlies, so only half the run carries full competitive weight. Hungary’s most recent result was a 1-0 home win over Georgia, following a goalless draw away at Northern Ireland.
