Prediction of the match Hungary vs Portugal, 1:45 a.m. September 10: Is Szoboszlai strong enough to challenge Ronaldo?

VHO - Commentary on the match Hungary vs Portugal, 2026 World Cup qualifiers, on the rise, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates promise to earn 3 more points in Budapest.

Hungary vs Portugal form

Hungary seemed to have had a perfect start in Group F, the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Dominik Szoboszlai and his teammates only needed the first 15 minutes of the match to create a 2-goal gap against the host Republic of Ireland. Barnabas Varga and Roland Sallai were the ones to score.

However, in the face of the strong spirit of the opponent, the Hungarian defense system could not stand firm. Especially after the gap was shortened and they were reduced to playing with only 10 men from the beginning of the second half, the students of coach Marco Rossi had to face terrible pressure.

Despite their strong defense, Hungary still could not secure all 3 points when Adam Idah equalized 2-2 in the 3rd minute of injury time.

With only 1 point in hand, Magyars is not too sad. After all, their journey in the qualifying round is probably only enough to compete for 2nd place with the Republic of Ireland.

It is very difficult to escape the top spot of Group F from Portugal. Because in all aspects, from strength to current form, Seleccao has shown to be far superior to the remaining 3 names. Not to mention, the spirit of coach Roberto Martinez and his team is also very excited at the moment.

After defeating Spain to become the first team to win the UEFA Nations League A twice, Portugal continued to assert their strength with a devastating 5-0 victory on Armenia's field.

The spectacular opening match certainly boosted the confidence of Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates before their trip to Budapest.

Throughout history, Portugal has never lost a match against Hungary. Specifically, the team from the Iberian peninsula won 10 and drew 4 out of 14 matches. It is too difficult for Hungary to change the balance of history when the opponent has a star-studded squad playing very well.

Will Ronaldo continue to shine and bring victory to Portugal?

Despite participating in all three most recent Euros, Hungary has not reached the World Cup finals since 1986. In the context of the 2026 World Cup being expanded from 48 teams, the opportunity to participate in the biggest football festival on the planet for Magyars has also become greater.

But being in a group with the presence of "giant" Portugal means the home team may have to rely on a play-off spot, instead of hoping for a direct ticket to North America.
