England vs Hungary news: Three Lions facing relegation six-pointer at Molineux
England are bottom of their Nations League Group as they face Hungary on Tuesday, and they will be keen to avoid the consequences of staying there.
England face the odd concept of a relegation six-pointer on Tuesday when they host Hungary at Molineux.
The Three Lions sit bottom of group A3 after two draws and a defeat and if they finish there they will be relegated to the B-tier of the competition.
When: Tuesday, June 14, 19:45 BST
Where: Molineux, Wolverhampton
Where to watch: Channel Four
Who is the ref for England vs Hungary
Frenchman Clement Turpin will take charge of this one, which probably doesn't bode all that well for England.
Recent form
England's form is quite tough to judge, really. In fact, all form at this point in the year when players are obviously tired, is.
In truth, draws against Italy and Germany are not necessarily bad results. However, viewed through the lens of the defeat to Hungary that came before it and they suddenly look a bit worrying.
Hungary, by comparison, have won one, lost one, and drawn one in the group.
England and Hungary players in form
Dominik Szoboszlai has been the stand-out player for Hungary during the Nations League.
England look a tired team who are struggling for rhythm. Harry Kane's performance against Germany was a standout, though.
Previous meeting
Hungary 1-0 England (Nations League, June 4, 2022)
These two sides faced each other earlier this month, so we have a very recent comparison to look at.
It was far from a classic with England subdued throughout and was ultimately decided from the penalty spot.
International head-to-head
Manager's thoughts
Gareth Southgate says England players cannot just rely on Harry Kane to end their recent goalscoring problems.
