Wales vs Hungary: Euro 2020 qualifier prediction, TV channel, live stream, h2h, team news

Wales know the job in simple tonight: beat Hungary to qualify for Euro 2020.

The pain of missing out on last year's World Cup, due to a home loss to Ireland in their final qualifier, brought the project back down to earth after the semi-final run in Euro 2016.

But Gareth Bale, fit for his country, says reaching the transcontinental tournament would rank alongside the nation's achievements of three years ago.

Wales lost the reverse fixture in June to leave their qualification hopes in dire straights, but Ryan Giggs has embarked on an unbeaten run since and are favourites to win in Cardiff.

Preview

Wales vs Hungary
Venue:
Cardiff City Stadium
Kick-off time: 7.45pm GMT

Prediction

Wales 2-0 Hungary: The hosts should have enough about themselves to win tonight. Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramset have declared as fit, while Daniel James continues to impress in his burgeoning career.
