Hungary to face Serbia in EURO 2024 qualifiers

Marco Rossi's squad will seek positive results against Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria and Lithuania as they aim to qualify for their third successive European Championship finals, due to take place in Germany.

Hungary will have good memories of recent matches against Serbia and Bulgaria, the former suffering at the hands of striker Norbert Könyves in Belgrade in 2019 and the latter succumbing in Sofia in 2020 during Hungary's successful journey to a memorable Euro 2020 tournament.

"It could have been a more difficult group, but naturally I could have imagined an easier one too", Marco Rossi admitted after the draw in Frankfurt. "No one should be complacent just because we were drawn from the pot of top seeds. Serbia are ahead of us in the world rankings and have qualified for the World Cup, while we know Bulgaria and Montenegro from recent meetings and we can't judge them on those results, because a lot can change in 2-3 years in today's football. Difficult matches await us; we'll need to take each match as they come and get the best out of ourselves in every game in order to be successful".
