If coach Roberto Martinez's team defeats Hungary and Armenia cannot defeat the Republic of Ireland, Portugal's place in the 2026 World Cup will be officially confirmed. There are currently few signs that the process will be delayed next week.
The EURO 2016 champion is maintaining impressive form with 5 wins and 1 draw in the last 6 matches in all competitions. However, the narrow victory over Ireland ended a streak of 5 consecutive matches scoring at least 2 goals in each of their matches.
Coincidentally, Portugal's upcoming opponent is Hungary - a team aiming to score in the fifth consecutive match in Lisbon. However, avoiding defeat to continue competing for the top spot will be a big challenge, especially in the context of only the last two matches.
Portugal still shows stable attacking power thanks to the excellence of the stars. Although Cristiano Ronaldo did not score in the previous match, his presence still put great pressure on the opponent's defense.
Hungary will need to make every effort if they want to maintain their chances of competing for the top spot. Despite recent positive performances, Marco Rossi's side have struggled against strong sides like Portugal.
This match promises to be an exciting match, with the determination to win all 3 points from Portugal and Hungary's efforts in the race for a direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
