Hungary Looks for Redemption as Iceland Eyes Another Big Win
Hungary comes into this matchup under pressure, still chasing their first victory in the qualifiers. With their FIBA EuroBasket 2025 hopes on the line, they’ll need to raise their level and make the most of their home-court advantage.
Iceland, on the other hand, has been impressive so far. Their ability to grind out results in the reverse fixture and against Italy has put them in a strong position in Group B. Another win would take them one step closer to qualification.
The last time these two teams met, Iceland claimed a 70-65 victory in Reykjavik. Tryggvi Hlinason was dominant in the paint, finishing with a double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds. Martin Hermannsson also stepped up, contributing 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists to secure the win.
Hungary will be eager to respond. That narrow defeat in Iceland will still be fresh in their minds, and this time, they have the backing of their home crowd. Expect a hard-fought contest as both teams battle for a crucial result in Szombathely.
Hungary will look to Zoltán Perl to lead the charge once again. The versatile guard has been their most reliable scorer in the qualifiers, averaging 13.5 points per game while showcasing his ability to create shots, attack the rim, and deliver in the clutch.
Known for his quick first step, crafty finishing, and mid-range scoring, Perl’s ability to control the tempo and generate offense will be crucial as Hungary fights to stay in the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 race. The Falco-Vulcano Szombathely star will be looking to propel Hungary to a 5+ point win, before eventually having to grind out another win against Italy on the final day.
