Portugal v Hungary Betting Tips and Preview – World Cup Qualifier

Date: 14 October, 19:45
Competition: World Cup Qualifier
Venue: Estadio José Alvalade


Portugal v Hungary Match Preview

Portugal maintained their perfect start to the World Cup qualifying campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win over the Republic of Ireland on Saturday night, a result that keeps Roberto Martínez’s men top of Group F with a 100% record.

The Selecão have made light work of their opening fixtures, securing consecutive victories over Armenia, Hungary, and Ireland, scoring nine goals while conceding just twice. That flawless form sees them five points clear at the top of the group, and another three points at the Estadio José Alvalade would all but cement their status as runaway leaders.

Portugal have also enjoyed a dominant record in this fixture, winning nine of their last 10 meetings with Hungary and keeping six clean sheets in the process. With their wealth of attacking options and a defence that has looked increasingly composed under Martínez, the hosts will be confident of extending both streaks in Lisbon.

Hungary, meanwhile, sit second in Group F but have been inconsistent across their opening three fixtures, collecting just four points so far. The Magyars drew 2-2 away at Ireland before slipping to a 3-2 defeat at home to Portugal, though they bounced back with a solid 2-0 home win over Armenia on Saturday to get their campaign back on track.

Marco Rossi’s side are organised and tough to break down on their day, but their struggles away from home — coupled with Portugal’s exceptional form — suggest this could be another long evening for the visitors.

Team News and Predicted Line-Ups

Portugal

Roberto Martínez’s side emerged unscathed from their win over Ireland, with Gonçalo Inácio substituted at half-time for Renato Veiga in what appeared to be a tactical tweak rather than an injury concern.
Francisco Trincão is pushing for a start after assisting João Neves’s decisive goal, while João Palhinha could replace the absent Neves in midfield. Expect Cristiano Ronaldo to continue leading the line, supported by Rafael Leão and Bruno Fernandes.

Predicted Portugal XI (4-2-3-1):
Costa; Dalot, Dias, Veiga, Mendes; Palhinha, Vitinha; Trincão, Fernandes, Leão; Ronaldo

Hungary

Hungary welcomed back Roland Sallai and Barnabás Varga from suspension, both expected to return to the starting XI after missing the Armenia clash.
Dominik Szoboszlai will remain Hungary’s key attacking outlet, supported by Callum Styles in midfield and Milos Kerkez at left-back.

Predicted Hungary XI (4-4-2):
B. Tóth; Nego, Orbán, Szalai, Kerkez; Bolla, Styles, Schäfer, Szoboszlai; Sallai, Varga

Portugal v Hungary Prediction

Portugal have been excellent at both ends of the pitch, boasting defensive discipline and attacking depth. Hungary have struggled to find consistency away from home, and Martínez’s side have made a habit of controlling matches while limiting opposition chances. Expect another composed and professional display from the Selecão.

Conclusion

Portugal’s balance between defence and attack continues to shine under Roberto Martínez, and with Ronaldo spearheading a confident front line, the hosts should comfortably secure another victory — likely with a clean sheet — against a Hungary side still finding their rhythm on the road.
