Hungary and Ireland will face off in a big match in the final round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Group F. Both sides are coming off wins and are left separated by a point with all to play for. Read on for our prediction of this clash.
Barnabas Varga scored the only goal as Hungary labored through an away win in Armenia. It was a crucial victory as the Magyars held on to second place.
With Portugal losing on the night, Hungary can even afford to dream of automatic qualification. They come into this game undefeated in their last three group games.
Winless in six against Ireland, this match will be Hungary’s chance to improve things.
Ireland played a key role in throwing this group wide open. They are coming from a 2-0 home win over leaders Portugal.
With a comfortable win against Hungary, the Irish might find themselves finishing top of the group. Otherwise, they are well poised for a playoff spot. In both scenarios, Ireland must win.
Victory over Portugal improved their tally to seven points. While these two sides drew 2-2 in their initial meeting, Ireland will be more irked by the points dropped in their loss to bottom side Armenia.
They do have a poor away run, though, losing six of the last nine such matches.

Our Hungary vs Ireland Prediction
These two nations are faced with a tough match as they look to make the most of this encounter. They are going into the last round of matches well aware that their fates are hinged on the outcome here. For Ireland, only a win will do.
Hungary, on their part, might settle for a draw to go into the playoff. Otherwise, they may still reap big with a win just in case Portugal lose to Armenia. These nations’ pre-match considerations point to sides in poor shape, though. Our prediction for Hungary v Ireland is a draw.
