Hungary vs Ireland Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

Hungary are the skinniest price to succeed in this World Cup qualifying clash, with the favourites afforded a 53% probability based on their -111 betting odds with the bookies. If you’re looking for an alternative angle, Ireland are trading at +325.

Asian Handicap betting is popular and you can wager Hungary -0.5 at -114 should you want to go for the favourites, with Ireland +0.5 available at -114 and you will also win with the latter if it’s a draw.

A low-scoring contest will be predicted by several which is reflected in the fact that Under 2.5 Goals has the shortest odds. A viable alternative is betting the BTTS market and opting for the -137 about Both Teams to Score No.

For those wagering on World Cup qualifying games, it’s all about heading to the top football betting sites where hundreds of markets await you. Pre-match and In-Play options are plentiful.
