Portugal vs Armenia Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers

A Seleção das Quinas dominated the proceedings when these sides last faced each other.

The Portugal national football team is all set to lock horns with the Armenia national football team for their FIFA World Cup European qualifiers. Estádio do Dragão will witness this entertaining clash.

A Seleção das Quinas are coming in after facing a shocking defeat at the hands of Ireland in their last 2026 World Cup qualifying fixture. It was an underwhelming performance by them.

The Portugal national football team will be looking to come back to winning ways. They defended poorly in their last fixture and need to work on that.

The Armenia national football team have only secured one win in the ongoing FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Due to their lacklustre performances, they are going to be under pressure. The visitors have failed to come up with good outcomes against the Portuguese and are likely to struggle in the upcoming fixture.

Players to Watch

Rafael Leao (Portugal)

The AC Milan forward will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side in the attacking front. He has been performing well for his club, and now it’s his time to come up with a top effort for the Portugal national football team. Rafael Leao can surely score goals and create innovative plays, putting the opponent’s defence under pressure.

Eduard Spertsyan (Armenia)

Eduard Spertsyan is going to play an important role for the Armenia national football team both in the midfield and in the attacking front. He must control the ball well in midfield and should also challenge the Portuguese defence constantly if they are aiming for three important points.
