Preview
Hungary begins their Euro 2020 campaign with a match against the reigning champions, Portugal at home on Tuesday.
The Hungary side are placed in Group F with the likes of Portugal, Germany and France. A qualification scenario will be the dream but they know that it is a difficult proposition.
A victory in all matches will be necessary for the Hungary side to qualify. Hence, this contest spices up even further.
Portugal, on the other hand are firm favorites to win the title again due to their squad depth and consistency. They have a squad with a blend of youth and experience which is led by the astute leadership of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo has the likes of Fernandes, Felix, Dias, Silva and many others up his sleeve and will look to his teammates for the support.
A Seleção will be on the money from minute 1 and look to stamp their authority in the event.
The absence of Cancelo could affect them as he tested positive for Covid. Dalot replaced the Manchester City defender in the squad.
