Latest information on Hungary vs Armenia forces
Hungary will be without attacking duo Roland Sallai and Barnabas Varga due to suspension. Sallai was sent off against Ireland, while Varga is banned for picking up a number of yellow cards.
In the context of a lack of attacking players, coach Rossi can consider using Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool) in the role of "false 9", with Zsolt Nagy and Bendeguz Bolla supporting the two wings. In the midfield, Andras Schafer, Callum Styles and Alex Toth will compete for the starting positions.
On the Armenian side, winger Edgar Sevikyan withdrew from the squad due to injury, while the possibility of play of conductor Lucas Zelarayan (currently playing for Belgrano Club, Argentina) is still uncertain, as he only joined the team on Friday.
Eduard Spertsyan — who has scored 10 international goals, the most in the current Armenia squad — is expected to start in midfield alongside Ugochukwu Iwu and possibly Zelarayan. Up front, Borussia Monchengladbach striker Grant-Leon Ranos is expected to continue partnering captain Tigran Barseghyan.

Latest football commentary on Hungary vs Armenia
Hungary are facing a tough road to their first World Cup in four decades, having picked up just one point from their opening two qualifiers against the Republic of Ireland and Portugal last month.
“Nemzeti Tizenegy” (Hungary’s nickname) dropped the victory despite leading by two goals and having only 10 men on the field, allowing Ireland to draw 2-2 in the first match. In the match against Portugal, they also came very close to a 2-2 draw but let Joao Cancelo score the decisive goal to make it 3-2 in the 86th minute, causing Marco Rossi’s team to accept defeat right at home.
Hungary are currently ranked 41st in the world according to FIFA rankings and have won only two of their last 12 international matches in all competitions (D4 L6). Coach Rossi warned his players that Armenia “could definitely cause a surprise”, even though “in theory they are weaker than us”.
With no more points to lose if they are to finish in the top two of Group F, Hungary are struggling with form at home, having failed to win in their last six games in Budapest, with three draws followed by three defeats.
The consolation for Hungary is that Armenia also have a poor away record — winning just one of their last 12 international games away from home (D3 L7) and currently sit 62 places below them in the FIFA rankings.
John van 't Schip was sacked in August after less than six months in charge of Armenia. His successor, Yegishe Melikyan, oversaw two contrasting results in World Cup qualifying: a heavy 5-0 defeat to Portugal, followed by a valuable 2-1 home win over the Republic of Ireland.
The result ended a five-match winless streak for Armenia, who are aiming for back-to-back wins in competitive matches — something they haven't done since June 2023 — and cement their place in the top two of Group F, currently just two points ahead of Hungary and Ireland.
Armenia has never qualified for a major tournament as an independent nation. However, ahead of the trip to Hungary, captain Tigran Barseghyan said he and his teammates “will not go out with their hands up in the air” but will “fight to the end”.
