Ukraine vs Hungary team news and current form
Ukraine have a confirmed midfield absence for this match after Georgiy Sudakov left the national-team camp because of injury. His absence removes one of Ukraine’s main creative options as they look to respond to the 3-0 defeat against Northern Ireland.
Hungary arrive with more positive momentum after Milos Kerkez scored the winner against Georgia. Marco Rossi used a 4-2-3-1 shape in that match, with Dominik Szoboszlai operating in a deeper central role alongside András Schäfer while Hungary looked for more control in midfield.

Ukraine vs Hungary H2H
Hungary still hold the overall edge in this fixture despite losing the reverse Nations League meeting. UEFA’s current head-to-head record lists three senior meetings, with Hungary winning twice and Ukraine once.
Ukraine’s victory came in Budapest on 25 September 2026, when Danylo Sikan headed the only goal of the match. Across the three meetings, Hungary have scored five goals and Ukraine three.
Key players and match factors
Ukraine need a stronger attacking response after failing to score in their last two Nations League matches. Viktor Tsygankov, Andriy Yarmolenko and the available forwards will carry more responsibility with Sudakov unavailable.
Hungary’s main threat comes through the influence of Dominik Szoboszlai, the width provided by Milos Kerkez and the structure around András Schäfer in midfield. Their win over Georgia also showed that they can stay patient in a tight game and take advantage of one decisive moment.
The first goal, midfield control and Ukraine’s response to the Northern Ireland defeat could shape the match. Because both teams start level on four points, a win would create a significant advantage in the race behind the group leaders.
