Portugal vs Hungary Prediction, 1:45 a.m. October 15: Superior strength

TPO - Football analysis Portugal vs Hungary, 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe at 1:45 a.m. on October 15 - information on forces, expected lineup, performance, history of confrontation. Portugal is superior to its opponents in Group F and promises to win tickets early.

Prediction before the match Portugal vs Hungary

After winning the 2025 Nations League, Portugal continued to show their superiority in Group F of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe. Seleccao won all 3 matches and took the top spot in the group with 5 points more than Hungary. Now, they have the opportunity to become the first European representative to win a ticket to the biggest football festival on the planet next year.

Group F has only 4 teams, making Portugal's journey shorter and simpler. If they beat Hungary tomorrow morning, Martinez's team will have 12 points - 8 more than their opponents. In case Armenia does not beat Ireland, Seleccao will officially qualify early. This is a very likely scenario.

In the first leg, Portugal won a thrilling 3-2 victory over Hungary in Budapest. The two teams created a spectacular score chase until the end of the match, but in reality, the game was always under the control of Seleccao. In that match, they had 69% possession, launched 15 shots (3 times more than the home team), shot on target 7 times and scored 3 goals.

While some of Europe’s big names struggled, Portugal still performed at their best, even though their Group F was considered “very difficult to play”. In their most recent match, Seleccao only managed to beat Ireland by a narrow margin thanks to a late goal from Ruben Neves in the 90+1 minute, but they kept the pressure on throughout the match.

It can be said that Portugal's biggest problem at the moment is the ability to take advantage of opportunities. After the magnificent 5-0 victory over Armenia, Ronaldo and his teammates are no longer sharp enough and make things difficult for themselves. If they improve on this, they will probably win another 3 points against Hungary, because the correlation between the two teams is very different.

Hungary have impressed at recent EURO finals, but their squad lacks the necessary consistency and relies heavily on the inspiration of Szoboszlai. Portugal, on the other hand, have stars in all areas, especially strong in midfield and attack.

Head to head history Portugal vs Hungary

Portugal have won nine of their last 10 games against Hungary in all competitions. The only time they have failed to win was an emotional 3-3 draw in the group stage of EURO 2016 - a tournament Portugal went on to win.
