A spot in the 2026 World Cup playoffs will be at stake when Hungary and Ireland lock horns in a highly-anticipated showdown. The Hungarians picked up crucial three points from Thursday’s clash against Armenia. As a result, the hosts are only one point away from booking their spot in the World Cup playoffs. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Hungary boss Marco Rossi is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Armenia.
The Boys in Green, on the other hand, did well to shock star-studded Portugal (2-0) in their last qualifying game. Hungary, though, are more of a team than Ireland and we predict that Dominik Szoboszlai and Co. are going to prove their worth on the field. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be fit-again AZ Alkmaar forward Troy Parrott, who scored a brace against Cristiano Ronaldo and Co.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Sunday 16 November 2025 at 14:00.
