MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

  • Portugal have never lost against Hungary (won nine, drew four).



Hungary

  • Hungary have qualified for back-to-back editions of the European Championship, having only played in two of the previous 14 tournaments (1964, 1972).
  • Hungary remained unbeaten in the group stages in their last appearance (won one, drew two in 2016), but have won just two of eight matches in the competition (drew two, lost four).
  • Only two of Hungary's 11 goals in the European Championship have come in the first half (seven in the second half, two in extra time).
  • Centre-back Willi Orban was Hungary's top scorer in qualifying - all three of his goals came from set-pieces.



Portugal

  • Portugal are taking part in their eighth European Championship and will attempt to become only the second team to win back-to-back titles after Spain (2008, 2012).
  • Portugal are the only team to reach the knockout stages in each of the last six editions, a run stretching back to 1996. Portugal have always progressed from the group stages (seven out of seven).
  • Not including penalty shootouts, Portugal are unbeaten in their last 11 games at the European Championship, with their last two defeats in the competition coming against Germany (June 2008 and June 2012). Only Spain have embarked on a longer run without a defeat in the history of the tournament: 14 games, from 2008 to 2016 (won 11, drew three).
