Portugal vs Hungary: How to Watch, Odds, WCQ Preview

"LISBON, PORTUGAL - Portugal is on the cusp of securing its spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but a tough test awaits as they host Hungary at the Estádio José Alvalade on Tuesday. The Selecao, led by Roberto Martínez, has been flawless in World Cup qualifying, collecting maximum points from their opening three matches.
According to Charlie Cummings of DraftKings Sportsbook, "Portugal can clinch the group with a win, while Hungary is seeking to keep a precarious hold on the second spot to advance." The odds are heavily in favor of Portugal, with a -475 favorite to win and +550 to draw.
However, Hungary remains in the hunt, fighting to keep their slim hopes of topping the group alive. Captain Dominik Szoboszlai has been instrumental in their campaign, and a win against Portugal would be a monumental achievement for the Hungarians.
Portugal's form under Martínez has been impressive, with five wins and one draw in their last six matches across all competitions. They've scored freely in recent outings, but Saturday's narrow win against the Republic of Ireland ended their streak of scoring two or more goals in five straight fixtures.
As Kilty Cleary of Newsweek notes, "Portugal can officially book their place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday when they host Hungary at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon." A second victory against Hungary would seal early qualification for the Selecao.
The match is set to kick off at 2:45 PM EDT, with the Estádio José Alvalade packed with expectant fans. Will Portugal's perfect record be broken, or will Hungary pull off a stunning upset? The world will be watching as these two teams clash in a battle for World Cup qualification.
