Leader of its group, Portugal faces Hungary, its first pursuer, in a decisive match for its qualifying campaign, this Tuesday evening (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.). If successful, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates could already start planning for the American World Cup.
And the Lusitanian team is the favorite for this match, as in almost all its outings. Supported by its colony of Parisian European champions and its eternal scorer, Portugal has a string of narrow victories, ensuring the bare minimum without necessarily attracting observers. Enough to stamp your ticket for America without much difficulty. As hungry as ever, CR7 will look to turn the clock after missing a penalty against Ireland.
The expected compositions
Portugal : Costa; Dalot, Dias, Veiga, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha; Trincao, Fernandes, Leao; Ronaldo.
Hungary : B. Toth; Nego, Orban, Szalai, Kerkez; Bolla, Styles, Schafer, Szoboszlai; Sallai, Varga.
Where to watch the match?
This World Cup qualifying match between Portugal and Hungary will be broadcast on L'Equipe Live Foot, this Tuesday, from 8:45 p.m.
