Cristiano Ronaldo and company emerged victorious when these sides last met.

The Armenia national football team are all set to lock horns with the Portugal national football team in the UEFA FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers. The interesting clash will take place at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium.

The Armenia national football team will be at home for their opening World Cup qualifying game, but it is not going to make things easier for them. They are going to face the UEFA Nations League champions next. Armenia have never won a game against their upcoming opponents, making it a tough affair for them.

The Roberto Martinez-led side will be in action for the first time since their Nations League triumph over Spain. The Portugal national football team are looking in good form and with this, only something special from the opposition will be able to stop them. They will be away from home, but feeling confident.

Players to Watch

Eduard Spertsyan (Armenia)

Eduard Spertsyan is going to have a big responsibility on his shoulders. He scored a brace for the Armenia national football team in their previous fixture against Montenegro. Spertsyan will be looking to step up and help his side in the attacking front yet again despite being a midfielder.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)

The 40-year-old talisman is now gearing up for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers of the European region. Cristiano Ronaldo dropped top-notch performances for the national football team and then for his club Al Nassr in their last few games. CR7 looks in great touch and is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
