Hungary and Turkey promises to be a compelling matchup, particularly given Turkey's 3-1 advantage from the first leg. Analyzing recent performances, Hungary has struggled significantly, recording only two wins in their last ten matches . Their inability to convert scoring opportunities into goals has been a notable concern. Conversely, Turkey's form has been more favorable with six victories in the same timeframe, despite a recent setback against Montenegro.

Turkey took an early lead in Thursday's first leg, scoring after just nine minutes. Hungary levelled in the 25th minute but two second-half goals put the Turks in charge of this play-off. The Crescent Stars finished second in their Nations League group and are now in with a great chance of winning a second successive promotion in this competition. If doing so, they will be playing in League A for the first time. Hungary possible starting lineup: Dibusz; Fiola, Orban, Dardai; Bolla, Schafer, Nikitscher, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Varga, Csoboth
Turkey possible starting lineup: Cakir; Muldur, Akaydin, Bardakci, Elmali; Kokcu, Calhanoglu; Aydin, Yildiz, Yilmaz; Akturkoglu
The Turkish team is having quite a lead from the first leg, but I don't see Hungarians being too downhearted with it and not trying here. On the contrary, they should be set for "all or nothing" really soon after the start and it's what should spice up the game.
Akturkoglu’s late magic helped Turkey to secure victory and extend their unbeaten home run to seven consecutive matches.
Defeat in Istanbul leaves Hungary with an uphill battle in the second leg at Puskas Aréna on Thursday as the Magyars suffered consecutive away defeats in competitive matches for the first time since November 2019. 
As for predictions regarding the match outcome, analysts suggest that although Turkey holds an advantage from the first leg and boasts better current form, the match could still yield unpredictable results given both teams' previous encounters . A draw might be a plausible outcome considering both teams' tendencies; however, it remains to be seen how effectively Hungary can overcome their recent challenges during this critical playoff clash.
