Hungary to Host Relegated Netherlands in UEFA Nations League

Netherlands Facing Relegation in Final Group Stage Match

Budapest, Hungary - In a surprising turn of events, the Netherlands find themselves on the brink of relegation from the UEFA Nations League's top tier. The Dutch, who reached the semi-finals of the inaugural tournament in 2019, now face the prospect of dropping to League B following a disappointing campaign in League A Group 4.

Hungary Secure Top Spot With Draw Against Italy

Hungary, meanwhile, have secured top spot in the group with a 0-0 draw against Italy in Milan. The result means Hungary finish top of the group with 11 points, two ahead of Italy. The Netherlands, who lost 1-0 to Belgium in their previous match, are bottom of the group with just three points.

Netherlands in Danger of Missing Out on Euro 2024

Relegation from League A would be a major setback for the Netherlands, who are one of the most successful nations in international football. It would also mean they would miss out on a place in the UEFA Nations League finals, which will be held in Germany in 2024.

Netherlands Must Beat Hungary to Avoid Relegation

The Netherlands must now beat Hungary in their final group match to avoid relegation. The match will be played in Budapest on Sunday, September 25. If the Netherlands lose, they will be relegated to League B, while Hungary will qualify for the UEFA Nations League finals.

Hungary Aiming to Finish on a High

Hungary, who have already secured top spot in the group, will be aiming to finish their campaign on a high by beating the Netherlands. The Hungarians have impressed in the UEFA Nations League, winning three of their five matches and drawing the other two.

Netherlands Have Work to Do

The Netherlands, on the other hand, have work to do if they want to avoid relegation. The Dutch have been in poor form in recent months and have lost three of their last five matches. They will need to be at their best against Hungary to secure the win they need to stay in League A.
