On the second day of Group F qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in Europe, Hungary will take on Portugal on Tuesday at 2:45 p.m. EST at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest. The Hungarians are expecting to fight for second place in this four-nation group, with a view to competing in the playoffs. Last Saturday, however, they suffered a major disappointment in Ireland. Marco Rossi's team was leading by two goals before conceding in the dying moments (2-2). This is not the best way to build confidence ahead of facing the group favorites.
Portugal is aiming for nothing less than first place, which would secure them a direct spot in the international competition. They couldn't have asked for a better start to the qualifiers, having won the last edition of the Nations League. Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates defeated Spain in the final after a penalty shootout. In these qualifiers, Roberto Martinez's men didn't hold back on their first day, scoring a resounding victory on Armenia's home turf (0-5). They are not likely to ease up on Tuesday evening.
