Approaching his 3rd full year in charge of the Portugal national team, Roberto Martinez has already led his side to silverware, winning the Nations League.

Unbeaten in their last six outings, Portugal look to be hitting form just in time for the 2026 World Cup. Their most recent victory came against Ireland last Saturday thanks to a stoppage time winner from midfielder, Ruben Neves. That victory solidified the team's position of leaders of Group F, sitting on a perfect 9 points from 3 games.

In recent times Portugal have been a side with an embarrassment of riches across the whole squad but have struggled to create an identity and really utilise the squad to the best of their abilities when it comes to the major tournaments. Martinez will be hoping that his team's recent form is something to build on going into next year's World Cup. With heavy expectations and potentially Ronaldo's last major tournament, there's a lot of pressure on this Portugal side to perform next June.

Marco Rossi's 8-year spell as Hungary manager has put the nation back on the map. A sleeping giant in the footballing world, the Hungary team of the late 1930's and 60's that reached World Cup finals built the nation's footballing reputation with a strong football heritage. Fast forward to present day and Rossi's Hungary team have some serious star power and have proven to be to much to handle for many big nations, including England, Germany and Croatia.

Hungary currently sit second in Group F on 4 points after most recently beating Armenia 2-0. Rossi will be hoping that his team's reputation of giant killers proves true once more on Tuesday. The two sides last met in September where two goals from striker, Varga, weren't quite enough to dismantle to quality of Portugal in a game that ended 3-2.

With Hungary looking for revenge and Portugal looking to cement themselves as serious contenders for the upcoming World Cup, it's set up to be another tasty fixture between the two nations.
