Armenia conceded five goals to Portugal in their World Cup qualifying debut. Ireland, on the other hand, drew 2-2 at home against Hungary, with Ferguson of Roma scoring. A different approach to this competition allows them to take second place and go to the World Cup playoffs. Yes, because in this group there is no doubt about who will win: Portugal plays a different sport.
That said, it is clear that there is a favorite team, which has grown over the last few years and will take the three points. As was the case in the last match, played three years ago in the Nations League, Ireland, who beat Armenia 3-2 at the time, has a great opportunity: to take second place on the second day because the Portuguese will beat Hungary without any particular problems. This is a one-sided match that will open up important scenarios for the Greens, who will then give it their all against the Hungarians.

The prediction
The odds on an Irish victory allow us to say that this is enough to include it in the betting slip. Then there is also the GOAL – which has come in two of the four head-to-head matches – which is a little tempting. However, the certainty is the away win. And that’s enough.
