Hungary will finish at least third and would qualify automatically should they better the result Romania manage in their final fixture against the Faroe Islands. A draw will also take Hungary through should Romania lose, due to their superior head-to-head record. Previous meetings • The sides drew 0-0 in March in the first match of Sergio Markarián's brief spell as Greece coach. • Greece's record in 18 senior meetings with Hungary is W8 D6 L4. They are unbeaten in six competitive home games against Hungary (W3 D3). • Hungary are without a victory in their last five competitive encounters with Greece (D2 L3), but won 3-2 in a friendly fixture in Budapest on 24 May 2008. • Greece's heaviest defeat of all time came against Hungary – an 11-1 loss in Budapest in 1938 FIFA World Cup qualifying. Form guide • Greece have yet to score at home in Group F, having lost all four of their home matches in the pool. • Hungary are unbeaten on the road in this section (W2 D2) having scored once in each of their four Group F away fixtures. Disciplinary • The latest booking list is available here: http://www.uefa.org/disciplinary/disciplinary-cases/booking-lists/index.html. Trivia and links • Greek clubs' record in 25 UEFA competition meetings with Hungarian sides is W9 D6 L10. • In 21 encounters in UEFA's age-group competitions, Hungary have the edge: W9 D5 L7. The nations have also been paired in 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying. 4 Greece - Hungary Sunday 11 October 2015 - 18.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis, Piraeus Squad list Greece Current season Overall Qual.
