Portugal vs Hungary
When Portugal meets Hungary on Saturday there’s a heap at stake, with World Cup qualification by no means yet a certainty.
The hosts should win but it’s tight at the top of Group B and at the end of 90+ minutes, the smiles could easily be with group leaders Switzerland, sitting pretty on 12 points and three ahead of Portugal. Hungary is just two further back and could leapfrog the hosts with a victory. But a draw would benefit the Swiss the most.
The hosts are at betting odds of 1.89 to win with a -1.50 handicap betting hurdle to jump over, and Hungary is at 2.03 to win with that advantage.
Let’s take a look at the form. After a poor start, losing their opener against Switzerland, Portugal has won three on the bounce scoring 16 goals in the process, and while Hungary’s results have been, on the whole, similar a 0-0 draw with the minnows of the Faroe Islands could cost Bernd Storck’s team in the long run.
The last meeting between these two was a cracker when Portugal fought back to snatch a 3-3 draw at Euro 16, meaning Hungary has still never beaten the Portuguese. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in that game and has netted seven times in this campaign so far. Who’d bet against him adding at least one more at the Estadio da Luz on Saturday?
Adam Szalai has scored four for Hungary so far and will be the main threat to Super Cristiano’s limelight.
