Armenia vs Hungary prediction: EUROPE: World Cup – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-11-12 17:00.
[p]A win for Hungary over Armenia in this World Cup qualification (WCQ) clash could see them seal a play-off place, a result which would definitively end the hosts’ chances of reaching a first-ever finals.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Armenia remain in contention for a play-off place despite winning just one of their WCQ group games (L3), but with the fewest points and comfortably the worst goal difference of the four teams in Group F, there is a strong likelihood that they’ll miss out, especially as they finish their campaign away to group leaders Portugal. One win in their last eight internationals (D1, L6) hardly inspires hope of making a miraculous turnaround, even though that victory was against Ireland in their last home fixture as they ended a four-game losing streak here.[/p]
[p]Hungary have also won just one of their group games (D2, L1) but are in better shape as they are second in the group. Topping Group F is still a mathematical possibility, but securing second spot and the play-off berth that comes with it is much more realistic, something they can do here if a win is coupled with a Portugal victory against Ireland in the group’s other game. A mere one defeat from their last five internationals (W2, D2) and a three-match unbeaten run on foreign soil (W1, D2) should boost belief they can move closer to a first World Cup finals appearance since 1986.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
