In the European World Cup qualification on November 13, 2025, the national teams of Armenia and Hungary will face off. Another slip-up by the visitors could prove costly.
Team Form and Analysis
Armenia:
Armenia have long been regarded as an underdog. They performed decently in the Nations League, but after advancing to the playoff stage in second place, they lost heavily to neighboring Georgia (0-3 and 1-6). In the qualifiers, they managed a surprising win over Ireland, but against stronger opponents like Portugal and Hungary, they lost without scoring. In October, Ireland took revenge with a narrow 1-0 victory.
Hungary:
Hungary participated in the European Championship last year, but this World Cup qualifying campaign has been inconsistent. In March, they lost twice to Turkey in the Nations League playoffs, conceding three goals each time. They suffered a home loss to Portugal but managed a 2-2 draw away with a late stoppage-time equalizer. Against Ireland, they could only secure a draw. However, Hungary previously defeated Armenia 2-0.
