Hungary (W) vs Greece (W) Prediction 14 February 2024

In this World Cup semi-final match between Hungary (W) and Greece (W), the sportbooks have decided not to seriously favor anyone, and our prediction, of course, takes this into account. At first glance, the resources of the national teams do seem to be approximately equal: in the current decade they have not won gold, having limited themselves only to winning silver medals in the World League and at the Euros respectively.

The recent head-to-head meeting of the teams also brings additional interest to the upcoming battle: a month earlier, they pleased with bright uncompromising battles at the World Cup, the victory in which the current guests celebrated (14:12).

Hungary, perhaps, attracted the most attention of the general public with its performance in Qatar, as such a powerful breakthrough was not expected by everyone. In the group stage, the squad solved all issues with relative ease, which allowed them to save the lion's share of energy for the playoffs. Yesterday, the Tricolor unexpectedly knocked the Dutchwomen out of the title race in a shootout (13:12), thus breaking their months-long dominance. Rita Kestheyi was again the main protagonist up front (4 goals on 7 attempts), while Alda Magyari made seven crucial saves.

Greece, for their part, also faced the strongest opposition in Doha, losing to Spain without a serious fight at the very beginning of the road (8:16). Such a "chilling shower" forced the team to radically reconsider the approach to the case, which led to favorable consequences in a short period of time. Specifically in the playoffs "blue and white" broke the resistance of Kazakhstan (24:5) and Italy (14:12), noting almost perfect realization of moments (68%). Eirini Ninou stood out brightest of all, making 9 out of 12 successful attempts.
