Portugal and Hungary meet in a vital FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier at Budapest's Puskás Aréna on Tuesday, September 9. Portugal's Roberto Martínez will be looking for his side's second group victory, while Hungary hope to achieve a maiden triumph over the Seleção.
Portugal started with a 5-0 thrashing of Armenia, fueled by braces from Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix and a goal from João Cancelo. They go into this match as favorites, having overwhelmed Hungary in previous matches.
Hungary, however, blew a 2-0 advantage against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin for a 2-2 draw. Coach Marco Rossi will have extra pressure on him with Roland Sallai suspended to motivate his side against top-class opponents.

For web viewers, the match will be available for live streaming on:
Portugal recently played Hungary at Euro 2020, a 3-1 win in Budapest. Cristiano Ronaldo has netted six goals against this rival, including a dream double at the same ground.
Suspension rules out Roland Sallai, a major blow for Hungary. Dominik Szoboszlai will lead the creative charge, while Barnabás Varga remains the focal point in attack. Goalkeeper Dénes Dibusz continues as first-choice after Péter Gulácsi’s retirement.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Dibusz; Nego, Orbán, Szalai, Kerkez; Ötvös, Tóth, Schäfer; Bolla, Szoboszlai; Varga.
João Félix's form makes him irreplaceable, complementing Cristiano Ronaldo and Pedro Neto up front. Midfield solidity is provided by João Neves, Vitinha, and Bruno Fernandes, with Rúben Dias organizing the defense.
Predicted XI (4-3-3): Costa; Cancelo, Inácio, Rúben Dias, Mendes; João Neves, Vitinha, Fernandes; Neto, João Félix, Ronaldo.
Portugal's depth of squad should count despite Hungary's home ground. Look for a tight game but Ronaldo & Co. getting it.
Prediction: Portugal 2-1 Hungary
