SCOUTING REPORT

Manager

Marco Rossi

The former Brescia and Sampdoria player has minimal experience of managing at the top level but did guide Honved to the Hungarian title in 2016-17. Claims to have learned a lot from playing under Marcelo Bielsa during his time in Mexico with Club America and will look to make his side difficult to break down.

All games

Strengths

• Outstanding goalkeeper

• Bristol City’s Adam Nagy is an engine in midfield

• Willi Orban is a commanding figure at the back

Weaknesses

• Lack a consistent goalscorer

• Squad mainly comprised of players from outside of Europe’s big five leagues

• Dominik Szoboszlai’s absence is a huge blow

Prospects

There is hope for Hungary given that the best four third-placed sides will make the knockout stages but, with Szoboszlai now out of the equation, they may even fall short of that target.
