Can the Magyars also win away from home?
First place in this group will probably go to Portugal. For Hungary, the goal is to finish second with as many points as possible. For the match between Armenia and Hungary, a tip can be placed on the visitors, who already won the first leg.
Armenia has no chance of qualifying anyway. With three points from four games, the team is in last place. Hungary has only two points more, which is enough for second place, but with a five-point gap, it is clearly far from first place.
In the end, only the top-ranked team will qualify, which Hungary can still achieve mathematically. In addition, the second-placed teams in the group have the chance to qualify for the World Cup finals via the play-offs.
The soccer year is going well for Hungary. They have only suffered one defeat in qualifying so far, but they have also only won one game. After a strong 2-2 draw in Portugal in October, they are now looking for a home win. And in the Armenia vs. Hungary prediction, the chances of that happening are very good.
Armenia has managed to secure one victory in this qualifying round, which came at home against Ireland in September. Otherwise, there have been three defeats. This means that Armenia has already lost six of eight games with the national team this year. Especially after Hungary’s game in Portugal, the visitors must be considered the stronger team.
The tip can therefore be a Hungary win, which can be combined with the visitors scoring the first goal of the game. The Armenia vs. Hungary odds are 1.78 at betting provider NEO.bet.
Since Hungary has an expected goals value of 2.07, you can also bet on a Hungary win with a handicap of -1.5. With these values, more than 2.5 goals are also conceivable in this match. Armenia has conceded nine goals in four qualifying matches so far.
Armenia – Hungary Head-to-head record
These national teams have only met twice so far. In 2004, there was a friendly match that Hungary won 2-0. The same result was repeated in October this year in Budapest, which also contributes to the Armenia vs. Hungary betting odds.
Last month’s 2-0 victory was definitely deserved. Hungary had significantly more of the play, both in terms of possession and chances. Armenia tried to hold their own, but they also have some weaknesses in attack. Dániel Lukács and Zsombor Gruber were the goalscorers in this game.
Armenia – Hungary Tip
Hungary can at least still hope for first place, even if it is not realistic, as Portugal would have to lose twice for that to happen. Nevertheless, the visitors have enough reasons to give it their all again on Thursday. In the end, second place is also at stake.
In terms of play, the visitors must be considered the stronger team, as last month’s games in particular have shown. The win against Armenia and the draw in Portugal were good performances. The tip is for an away win, with Hungary scoring the first goal of the game.
Neither team is among the favorites for the 2026 World Cup, but Hungary still has a realistic chance of qualifying. It is also realistic that a handicap will be made up, which is why you can bet on the visitors to win with a handicap of -1.5 goals.
More than 2.5 goals are definitely possible. Armenia doesn’t have much to lose at this point and can therefore play quite openly. Together, the teams have an expected goals value of 3.29.
