Hungary welcomes Portugal to Budapest on Tuesday in World Cup qualifying Group F, looking to build on their 2-2 draw with the Republic of Ireland.
Marco Rossi’s side flew out of the blocks with quickfire goals from Barnabas Varga and Roland Sallai, only to concede twice late on, leaving them with a single point.
With Sallai suspended, Dominik Szoboszlai carries even more responsibility in midfield as Hungary aim to repeat their strong European Championship showings and end a near four-decade wait to reach the World Cup finals.
Portugal arrive brimming with confidence after a 5-0 demolition of Armenia, led by braces from Joao Felix and Cristiano Ronaldo, who now sits on 140 international goals.
Roberto Martinez’s men have history firmly on their side, unbeaten in 14 meetings with Hungary, and with Bernardo Silva expected to return to the XI, they boast a lineup stacked with attacking quality.
