Match Preview:
Hungary already face an uphill battle to qualify for their first World Cup in four decades after collecting only one point from their opening two qualification matches against Republic of Ireland and Portugal last month.

Nemzeti Tizenegy let a two-goal lad slip with 10 men to draw 2-2 with Ireland on matchday one, and they came close to drawing by the same scoreline against Portugal, only for Joao Cancelo to net an 86th-minute winner to condemn Marco Rossi’s side to a 3-2 home defeat.

Ranked 41st in the world by FIFA, Hungary have only won two of their last 12 international matches in all competitions (D4 L6) and Rossi has warned his team that Saturday’s opponents Armenia “can deliver a surprise”, even though they are ‘on paper, weaker than us’.

John van 't Schip was sacked in August after less than six months in charge of Havakakan and new head coach Yegishe Melikyan has since experienced two contrasting results in World Cup qualifying, with a heavy 5-0 defeat to Portugal followed by a much-needed 2-1 home triumph over the Republic of Ireland last month.

The latter result ended a five-match winless run for Armenia, who will now attempt to claim consecutive victories in competitive games for the first time since June 2023 as well as consolidate their top-two position in Group F, with two points currently separating themselves from both Hungary and Ireland.

Match Prediction:
Both nations will be aware of the importance of Saturday’s fixture as they attempt to strengthen their hopes of finishing in the top two of Group F. Although Hungary are lacking options in the final third, they should still have enough attacking quality in their side to outscore an Armenian outfit who have looked vulnerable at the back.
