HungaryRepublic of Ireland

In the last round of the group, both teams are forced into an attacking approach: the Hungarians are fighting for a guaranteed playoff spot, and the Irish are aiming for automatic qualification. Based on the shooting and expected-goals indicators from the qualifying matches (Hungary at home: 1.93, Ireland away: 1.29 expected goals), we can anticipate approximately 3.2 expected goals in total. Rossi's team has an average of 2.0 goals scored at home, while conceding 1.5; Hallgrímsson's team has scored just 0.5 goals on average away, but recently showed effective pressing against Portugal. Key players are healthy - there is no news of injuries or suspensions - so both sides will likely stick to their strongest lineup, focusing on fast wing play. The main risk is the tactical conservativeness due to the stakes, and the lack of an early goal; however, without injuries, significant variance is unlikely.
