In fact, they have had a slippery outing in Budapest. Don't miss this crucial ENG vs HUN match. (More Football News)
England were stunned by Hungary in their campaign opener at the iconic Puskas Arena. Excluding penalty shootouts, it was England’s first defeat in 23 matches. Also, the last time England lost to Hungary was at the 1962 World Cup.

To compound their woes, England then played out a 1-1 draw with old enemies Germany, salvaged by a penalty conversion from milestone man Harry Kane. It was followed by a goalless draw with Italy in a repeat of the UEFA Euro 2020 final. Now, England (5th), the highest-ranked side in the group are staring at relegation from League A.
In contrast, Hungary (40th), the lowest-ranked side in this 'group of death,' have been resolute so far. Marco Rossi's Magyars are second, with four points. They shared the spoils with Germany but lost to Italy 1-2 in their last outing. But with a favourable result in Monchengladbach between Germany and Italy, Hungary can go top of the table with a win in Wolverhampton.
