Evan Feruguson leads the line with Finn Azaz, Josh Cullen, Sammie Szmodics, and Jason Knight.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>Their last outing was a friendly with a few core members keeping their spots like Collins, Ferguson, and Knight. The midfield is mostly overhauled as the 4-4-2 used against Luxembourg is changed out for something more like a back five.<\/p>\n<h3>Hungary Team News<\/h3>\n<p>Denes Dibusz starts in goal with Loic Nego, Willi Orban, Attila Szalai, and Milos Kerkez at the back. Callym Styles is in midfield with Dominic Szoboszlai, Alex Toth, Bendeguz Bolla, and Roland Sallai. Barnabas Vagas leads the line<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>A few changes from their recent friendly with Styles coming into midfield and a possible change of shape to a 4-1-4-1. There are also two changes to the back line one in the centre and one at full-back as Dardai and Nagy miss out.<\/p>\n<h3>Republic of Ireland Squad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Caoimhin Kelleher<\/li>\n<li>Gavin Bazunu<\/li>\n<li>Mark Travers<\/li>\n<li>Matt Doherty<\/li>\n<li>Dara O&#8217;Shea<\/li>\n<li>Jake O&#8217;Brien<\/li>\n<li>Liam Scales<\/li>\n<li>Nathan Collins<\/li>\n<li>Ryan Manning<\/li>\n<li>Josh Cullen<\/li>\n<li>Sammie Szmodics<\/li>\n<li>Jason Knight<\/li>\n<li>Finn Azaz<\/li>\n<li>James Dunne<\/li>\n<li>Killian Phillips<\/li>\n<li>Kasey McAteer<\/li>\n<li>Mohammed Lawal<\/li>\n<li>Jack Taylor<\/li>\n<li>Evan Ferguson<\/li>\n<li>Adam Idah<\/li>\n<li>Mikey Johnston<\/li>\n<li>Johnny Kenny<\/li>\n<li>Chiedozie Ogbene<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Hungary Squad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Denes Dibusz<\/li>\n<li>Balazs Toth<\/li>\n<li>Peter Szappanos<\/li>\n<li>Attila Osvath<\/li>\n<li>Attila Mocsi<\/li>\n<li>Attila Szalai<\/li>\n<li>Gabor Szalai<\/li>\n<li>Willi Orban<\/li>\n<li>Loic Nego<\/li>\n<li>Milos Kerkez<\/li>\n<li>Bendeguz Bolla<\/li>\n<li>Marton Dardai<\/li>\n<li>Milan Vitalis<\/li>\n<li>Dominik Szoboszlai<\/li>\n<li>Callum Styles<\/li>\n<li>Zsolt Nagy<\/li>\n<li>Alex Toth<\/li>\n<li>Bence Otvos<\/li>\n<li>Barna Toth<\/li>\n<li>Zsombor Gruber<\/li>\n<li>Daniel Lukacs<\/li>\n<li>Barnabas Varga<\/li>\n<li>Roland Sallai<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(both squad lists taken from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uefa.com\/european-qualifiers\/match\/2044227--republic-of-ireland-vs-hungary\/lineups\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UEFA official website<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for the confirmed lineups for the Republic of Ireland vs Hungary.
