Portugal will welcome Armenia to the Estádio do Dragão in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Sunday. The hosts are at the top of the Group F table, winning three of the five games. Havakakan have just one win to their name and are at the bottom of the table.
Seleção das Quinas suffered their first defeat of the ongoing qualifying campaign earlier this week, as they fell to a 2-0 away loss to the Republic of Ireland. They failed to score in the qualifiers for the first time since 2021 and will look to return to goalscoring ways here.
The visitors suffered a third consecutive loss in the qualifiers in their previous outing, losing 1-0 at home to Hungary. They also failed to score for the fourth time in five games.

Portugal vs Armenia Prediction
Seleção das Quinas suffered just their second loss of the year earlier this week and will look to bounce back here. They have a 100% home record against the visitors, keeping two clean sheets in three games, and are strong favorites.
Roberto Martínez will be without the services of Cristiano Ronaldo in the final match of the qualifiers, as the star was sent off against Ireland.
Havakakan will look to conclude their qualifying campaign and commitments for the year on a positive note. They have lost their last three games without scoring, and will look to improve upon that record. They have failed to score in four of their seven games in this fixture.
Seleção just need to avoid a loss here to ensure their qualification. Considering their home advantage, we back them to record a comfortable win.
