Analysis and prediction for Hungary vs Republic of Ireland: A heart-stopping scenario.

Latest information on the Hungary vs Republic of Ireland matchup

Hungary reported no injuries after their win against Armenia, and it would be no surprise if they kept the same starting lineup for Sunday's match.

Barnabas Varga scored against Armenia, bringing his total goals for the national team to 12, and the 31-year-old striker is likely to continue starting as the central forward.

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

On the Republic of Ireland side, coach Hallgrimsson will carefully consider his options before making any changes to the lineup that defended so well in the victory against Portugal.

The away team continues to rely on Parrott for goalscoring. The 23-year-old striker is in excellent form at AZ this season, with 13 goals in 14 matches across all competitions.

Adam Idah is the preferred choice for the attacking position alongside Parrott, but Chiedozie Ogbene is expected to start, while Finn Azaz is likely to retain his starting spot in midfield.

Latest predicted lineups for Hungary vs Republic of Ireland

Republic of Ireland:

Latest football match prediction: Hungary vs Republic of Ireland

Hungary entered Sunday's match after a 1-0 victory over Armenia, a result that gave them eight points from five games, with 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 side will finish second if they don't lose to the Republic of Ireland and Portugal win, so there are quite a few scenarios, but the home team just needs to focus on securing all three points.

Hungary has reached the World Cup final twice, in 1938 and 1954, but they haven't participated in the finals since 1986, so this match holds immense significance.

The national team has met the Republic of Ireland 14 times before, with a record of four wins, seven draws, and three losses, indicating a balance between the two teams in their encounters.

Troy Parrott scored a brace in the Republic of Ireland's 2-0 victory over Portugal on Thursday, a surprising result that keeps their hopes alive of competing for first or second place in the group.

The Boys in Green haven't returned to the World Cup finals since 2002, and their chances of qualifying next summer were seriously questioned after their early-stage defeats to Armenia and Portugal.

However, Heimir Hallgrimsson's team has won their last two matches against Armenia and Portugal, giving them seven points after five games, placing them third, one point behind Hungary in second place and three points behind Portugal before Sunday's matches.

The Republic of Ireland could finish top of the group and qualify directly if they win, but they need Portugal to lose, in which case the two teams would be decided by goal difference, then total goals, and finally head-to-head results – a factor currently favoring The Boys in Green after their victory on Thursday.

Hallgrimsson's team will finish second and advance to the play-offs if they win and Portugal doesn't lose, promising a very dramatic finish to this group.
