The Selecao enters Tuesday’s match in strong form after a hard-fought 1-0 win over the Republic of Ireland on Saturday. Despite a rare Cristiano Ronaldo penalty miss, Roberto Martínez’s side found a late breakthrough to maintain their perfect record in qualifying. Portugal’s defense has been nearly impenetrable this campaign, allowing just two goals in group play.
Ronaldo is expected to lead the line once again, supported by Bruno Fernandes and Rafael Leão, with Francisco Trincão adding width on the right. In midfield, Vitinha and Rúben Neves provide balance and distribution, while Diogo Costa continues in goal behind a solid back line anchored by Rúben Dias and Gonçalo Inácio Veiga.
Portugal predicted lineup: Costa; Dalot, Dias, Veiga, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha; Trincao, Fernandes, Leao; Ronaldo
Hungary remains in the hunt for qualification themselves, sitting second in Group F following a 2-0 win over Armenia last weekend. Captain Dominik Szoboszlai has been instrumental in midfield, driving attacks and creating chances for forwards Roland Sallai and Barnabas Varga.
Manager Marco Rossi’s squad has shown impressive consistency, losing just once in their last eight qualifiers. However, facing Portugal in Lisbon will be their toughest test yet, especially against a side unbeaten on home soil in competitive play since 2021.
Hungary predicted lineup: B. Toth; Nego, Orban, Szalai, Kerkez; Bolla, Styles, Schafer, Szoboszlai; Sallai, Varga
