Hungary and Armenia return to action in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they square off at Puskas Arena on Saturday. Both sides picked up contrasting results in their last group outing, with Argentina claiming an impressive victory over the Republic of Ireland on home soil.
Hungary were left spitting feathers in their last qualifying outing as they fell to a 3-2 loss against Portugal after conceding an 86th-minute winner at Puskas Arena on September 9.
This came just three days after a somewhat disappointing 2-2 draw with the Republic of Ireland at the Aviva Stadium, where they gave up their two-goal lead in the second half.
Hungary have failed to win their last six competitive games (4L, 2D), a run that saw them relegated to League B of the UEFA Nations League following a 6-1 aggregate defeat against Turkiye in March.
Trending
On the other hand, Eduard Spertsyan and Grant-Leon Ranos both hit the target to fire Armenia to a 2-1 victory over the Republic of Ireland last time out.
This was a much-needed positive response from Yeghishe Melikyan’s side, who suffered a 5-0 hammering against Portugal in their group opener on September 6.
Armenia have picked up three points from the first six available to sit second in the Group F standings, above Hungary and Ireland, who are tied on one point.
