Hungary and Egervári usher in new era

Hungary and Moldova are due to meet for the second UEFA European Championship qualifying campaign in succession, with the two sides having each won their home fixture last time around.

Team news
• Sándor Egervári is expected to make changes despite having no new injury concerns following Friday's 2-0 loss to Sweden. "I saw many promising signs, especially in the first half, but a loss is never acceptable," said Egervári. "I hope that we will achieve much more at home with some fresh, young players."
