Roland Sallai is targeting two wins as he returns to Hungary duty with club experience at right-back. He discussed his aim and changed role in M4 Sport’s own interview on 11 November.

A different position, more options?

According to UEFA’s match page, Georgia will host Hungary at Tbilisi’s Mikheil Meskhi Stadium; in the other fixture, Hungary will host Northern Ireland.

The editorial question is what a player known as a winger can add to attacks through experience in defence. His club position alone does not determine his national-team assignment: the line-up and his actions on the pitch will show that.
