It was easy against Armenia. Especially if Ronaldo scores again. Five goals and everyone goes home. It won’t be the same against Hungary, which is a different kettle of fish, but Portugal will take its second victory in this group, which it will dominate from start to finish, securing its place in the next World Cup.
Another brace for CR7, who has now scored 140 goals for his national team. An enormous achievement. An extraordinary player who knows no obstacles. Alongside him, Joao Felix also scored twice, currently in Saudi Arabia and eager to prove that he can still play at the highest level.
The good draw in Hungary – two all at the final whistle – is certainly important for the home team, who will ultimately be playing for second place against Ireland. Because, objectively speaking, thinking about stopping this Portugal team is something that goes beyond reason. After their victory in the Nations League, Martinez’s team is on a roll, both physically and mentally, and showed in their debut in this competition that they have no intention of stopping.

The prediction
Not only strong in attack, but Portugal has also found the right balance at the back. In short, it will be difficult for Hungary to find the back of the net. In any case, in a match with at least three goals in total, Portugal’s victory cannot be questioned in the slightest.
