Preview
Whilst neither of these two sides are in any real threat of relegation they both have a lot to do to catch the pacemakers of this Division, Israel and Denmark.

Hungary’s loss 2 weeks ago to Denmark at home was a huge blow to their championship hopes. Playing away is always a disadvantage. They also have the Vienna bogey, never having won their.They will need to put in a huge effort to take this test match.

Austria were also defeated in their last competition game. They lost 26-28 to Israel, also at home. This was against one of the competition leaders but was still a blow to their competition chances.

This will be a very close game.
