Portugal will be looking to continue their perfect start to their World Cup qualification campaign when they take on Hungary in Budapest on Tuesday night.
The Nations League champions hammered Armenia 5-0 on Saturday night, with Cristiano Ronaldo extending his world record international goals tally to a remarkable 140 with a brace, and Joao Felix also getting in on the goals.
Hungary threw away a 2-0 lead in Dublin to draw with Ireland, and will have regrets both about the last-gasp equaliser they conceded and the red card received by Rolland Sallai just after Evan Ferguson had pulled one back. Any result here would be a big plus in their bid for a first World Cup since 1986.
The Sporting News has althe latest odds, tips and predictions for this one.
