World Cup - Qualification Europe
Hungary is in second place in the group, which it will remain in if it does not lose this match. There is a chance for first place as well, but then it must win, and Portugal must lose at home to Armenia, which is unlikely to happen. Hungary has two wins so far, both against Armenia. They almost defeated Ireland as guests, but with one player less, they conceded an equalizer for a final score of 2:2.
A draw this time will not be enough for Ireland, which, however, stayed in the game on Thursday after beating the group leader Portugal 2:0 at home. So far, however, they have lost both of their away games. One was against Portugal, but the more fatal one could be the one against Armenia, where they lost as guests 1:2.
Prediction: victory for HungaryIreland must take risks; they have nothing else to lose, and only a win suits the team. For its part, Hungary will look to take advantage of these situations, even though a draw also suits the Hungarians. Still, I don't believe they will primarily play for a draw, and if there is a winner, I definitely expect it to be Hungary.
