Comments and predictions for Hungary vs Republic of Ireland: Heart attack scenario

Latest information on Hungary vs Republic of Ireland forces

Hungary had no injuries reported after their win over Armenia, and it would not be a surprise if they retained their starting line-up for Sunday's game.

Barnabas Varga scored against Armenia to take his tally to 12, and the 31-year-old is likely to continue to start at centre-forward.

Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai will lead the play in midfield, while West Bromwich Albion's Callum Styles also promises to be an important factor for the home side.

As for the Republic of Ireland, coach Hallgrimsson will consider carefully before changing the squad that defended extremely well in the victory over Portugal.

The visitors continue to rely on Parrott to score goals. The 23-year-old striker has been in excellent form for AZ this season, with 13 goals in 14 games in all competitions.

Adam Idah is the option in attack alongside Parrott, but Chiedozie Ogbene is expected to start, while Finn Azaz is likely to continue to keep his starting place in midfield.

Latest football commentary on Hungary vs Republic of Ireland

Hungary go into Sunday's match following a 1-0 win over Armenia, a result that leaves them with eight points from five games, with a record of two wins, two draws and one loss.

The National Team will qualify for the 2026 World Cup as group winners if they beat the Republic of Ireland and Portugal lose to Armenia, or if Hungary win by four or more goals and Portugal draw.

Marco Rossi's men will finish second if they avoid defeat to the Republic of Ireland and Portugal win, so there are plenty of scenarios, but the hosts can just focus on taking all three points.

Hungary have been to the World Cup final twice, in 1938 and 1954, but they have not been to the finals since 1986, so this match is of huge significance.

The National Team have met the Republic of Ireland 14 times before, with a record of four wins, seven draws and three losses, showing the balance between the two teams in head-to-head matches.

Troy Parrott scored twice in the Republic of Ireland's 2-0 win over Portugal on Thursday, a surprise result that keeps alive their hopes of finishing first or second in their group.

The Boys in Green have not returned to the World Cup finals since 2002, and their chances of qualifying for next summer were in doubt after consecutive defeats to Armenia and Portugal in the early stages of qualifying.

However, Heimir Hallgrimsson's side have won their last two games against Armenia and Portugal, leaving them with seven points from five games, one point behind Hungary in second and three points behind Portugal ahead of Sunday's match.

The Republic of Ireland could top the group and qualify automatically if they win, but they need Portugal to lose, in which case the teams will be decided by goal difference, then total goals, then head-to-head – a factor that favours the Boys in Green after Thursday's win.

Hallgrimsson's side will finish second and advance to the play-offs if they win and Portugal avoid defeat, promising a dramatic end to the group.
