Looking for a Hungary vs Italy live stream? You're in the right place – FourFourTwo has all the info you need. 

Hungary just need to avoid defeat against Italy to book a place in the Nations League finals by finishing as surprise Group A3 winners.

Marco Rossi’s side stunned Germany on Friday with a 1-0 victory that put them on the verge of qualification.

Hungary have 10 points, two more than Italy, so a draw would be enough for them to top the group but defeat would see the Azzurri leapfrog them at the finish line.

Roberto Mancini’s men beat England 1-0 at San Siro last week thanks to a Giacomo Raspadori strike, sealing the Three Lions’ relegation to League B.

Neither side will be travelling to Qatar for World Cup 2022 next month after they failed to qualify.

Hungary are without injured striker Rolland Sallai, while the game will mark Adam Szalai’s final appearance in a Hungary shirt ahead of his international retirement.

Italy have a host of injuries; Marco Verratti, Ciro Immobile, Sandro Tonali, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Matteo Politano will miss out.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Nations League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
