-----------------------------------------
Portugal are on the brink of securing World Cup 2026 qualification as they face Hungary at Estadio José Alvalade. Despite a missed penalty from Cristiano Ronaldo, they edged past Ireland to stay on track. Hungary, climbing to second after beating Armenia, will aim to keep their momentum alive.

Team Analysis:
Portugal maintained their perfect qualifying run with a dramatic late win over Ireland, despite Ronaldo’s missed penalty, thanks to Ruben Neves’s decisive header. Now just a step away from sealing their World Cup spot, they face a Hungary side showing improved form after back-to-back scoring performances. Hungary remain outsiders for top spot, but history and recent defeats suggest a tough night awaits them in Lisbon.

Player Situation:
Portugal are expected to remain largely unchanged after their win over Ireland, with minor tweaks possible such as Francisco Trincao earning a start. Joao Palhinha is ready to step in amid midfield absences. Hungary welcome back key attackers Roland Sallai and Barnabas Varga, likely reshuffling their lineup despite recent goalscoring contributions.

Result Prediction:
With Sallai and Varga back, Hungary gain attacking strength, though their recent scoring form may still only yield a consolation. Portugal, equipped with depth and fresh options, look poised to dominate once again. Their firepower should be enough to secure World Cup qualification with room to spare.

Predicted Result: Portugal 2-1 Hungary.
