The Portuguese team won all 3 opening matches in Group F against Armenia, Hungary and the Republic of Ireland, but only won 1 point in the last 2 matches. They drew with Hungary in October and surprisingly lost 0-2 to the Republic of Ireland.
This result means that Portugal must defeat Armenia if they want to ensure their top spot in the group and qualify for the World Cup next summer. A draw could still be enough if Hungary don't beat Ireland by 3 goals or more, but the "European Selecao" will want to take the initiative and aim to win all three points.
Portugal have not missed the World Cup finals since 1998 and reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup - their best finish since 2006.
The "European Selecao" are also unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Ukraine, including a 5-0 win in the first leg in September. The two teams had previously tied 1-1 in the EURO 2008 qualifiers.
Armenia will not have to worry about facing Cristiano Ronaldo, as the 40-year-old striker received a direct red card after a crush on Dara O'Shea of the Republic of Ireland.
Ukraine has never reached the World Cup or EURO finals. While Hungary and the Republic of Ireland are relying on the "assistance" of this team, Armenia will have to face a Portugal that is determined to return to the winning line.
