Portugal to Maintain Perfect Start

Roberto Martínez’s Portugal have opened their qualifying campaign in style, thrashing Armenia 5-0 before edging Hungary 3-2 in Budapest. With 15 goals scored across their last five matches, the hosts are thriving in attack- led by Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and a still-lethal Cristiano Ronaldo.

For the Republic of Ireland, things look bleak. After a battling 2-2 draw with Hungary, they slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Armenia, leaving them near the bottom of the group. Heimir Hallgrímsson’s men continue to struggle defensively, and they’ll need a monumental effort to contain Portugal’s front line.

Expect Portugal to dominate possession and territory, with Ireland relying on long balls and set pieces to stay in contention.
