Portugal travel to Armenia for the first match of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in UEFA Group F on Saturday. This match at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium in Yerevan between the Havakakan and the Selecao comes with our prediction of an away win with over 3.5 goals scored.
This is the first match of the group, which also features Hungary and the Republic of Ireland. There’s one direct qualification spot up for grabs for the teams, while the second-placed team advances to the play-offs.
Armenia have never reached the finals of a major tournament as an independent country, and their chances in this campaign look glum. They come here with three defeats from their last four matches (D1, L3) and having conceded 16 goals in those four games combined.
Even their form in the World Cup qualifiers has been dire, as the Armenians finished the last qualification cycle with no wins in seven matches (D3, L4).
Portugal are heavy favourites to win the group and are taking to the field for the first time as a team after the tragic death of Diogo Jota. Their last appearance was in the Nations League, which they won, defeating Spain.
They arrive here with six wins and three draws during regular time in their last ten matches in all competitions (W6, D3, L1).

Our Armenia vs Portugal Prediction
Portugal present a tough starting game for Armenia, who have very low chances of going past the group stage. Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be Portugal’s talisman and will look to put the sword, as he netted a hat-trick on his last national visit to Armenia. Little wonder then that the market is overwhelmingly in favour of a Portugal win. There’s very little value even in backing a win to nil for the visitors.
The visitors could push for more goals and a statement win. That’s why our Armenia vs Portugal prediction is Portugal win and over 3.5.
