Hungary fell into Group F of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe with Portugal, Ireland and Armenia. With superior strength, Portugal is almost certain to secure a direct ticket, while the play-off spot is a competition between the remaining 3 teams.
However, Hungary did not start smoothly when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Ireland, while Portugal easily crushed Ukraine 5-0. The second round will therefore be a real test for Marco Rossi and his team when they have to face the number one candidate of the group.
The difference in performance between the two teams is quite obvious. Hungary have won just one of their last six, while Portugal have won three of their six (90 minutes). More worryingly, Hungary has a streak of 6 consecutive home matches without a win, in contrast to Portugal, which is in the form and has only lost 1/6 of their recent away matches.
Head-to-head history is also not in Hungary's favor, as they have lost 5 and drawn only 1 of their last 6 encounters. Therefore, the possibility of Portugal continuing to make a comeback to consolidate their top position in the group is a scenario that many people predict.
