Armenia travels to Budapest on Saturday, second in UEFA qualifying Group F, but a defeat to Hungary could result in its early bubble of optimism being popped all too soon. The chase for a place at the 2026 World Cup heats up this week as one of these teams looks to close the gap on runaway pool leader Portugal.
Unlike the Magyars, Armenia already has a win to its name after beating the Republic of Ireland last month in Yerevan. However, Hungary still boasts the superior goal advantage and can jump into second by bagging a first win of the qualifying campaign this weekend.
More than 20 years have passed since these teams faced off in their only meeting to date, a 2004 friendly that ended 2-0 in Hungary’s favor. Marco Rossi has revitalized the Magyars after guiding them to the last two European Championships, but his hopes of landing the nation its first World Cup slot since 1986 face a make-or-break moment in Budapest.
