How Hungary could line up against Portugal

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Hungary could line up against Portugal in their Euro 2020 opener.

Hungary will be without the services of two key players at Euro 2020, with Dominik Szoboszlai and Zsolt Kalmar ruled out of the competition through injury.

There are relatively few guaranteed starters when it comes to the squad, but Willi Orban and Attila Szalai will feature in two of the three defensive positions and could ultimately be joined by Attila Fiola.

Roland Sallai has had some fitness problems in the build-up to the tournament, but the 24-year-old should be available to start alongside Adam Szalai in the final third of the field.

Adam Szalai is the captain, leading scorer and most experienced player in terms of international caps, meaning that there will be a lot of pressure on the Mainz 05 forward to perform at Euro 2020.

Bristol City's Adam Nagy should feature in the middle of the park, while the right-sided wing-back position could ultimately be handed to Gergo Lovrencsics.

RB Leipzig's Peter Gulacsi will feature between the sticks, while Andras Schafer and Laszlo Kleinheisler are likely to be selected alongside Nagy as part of a midfield three.

Filip Holender could then line up on the left, but head coach Marco Rossi has plenty of options for change when it comes to personnel and indeed formations.

Hungary possible starting lineup: Gulacsi; Fiola, Orban, Attila Szalai; Lovrencsics, Kleinheisler, Nagy, Schafer, Holender; Sallai, Adam Szalai
