Portugal vs Republic of Ireland Lineups, Odds, Prediction, and 11/1 Bet Builder Tips

Harry Paterson | 11:29 Saturday 11th October 2025

Despite a slight slip up against Hungary, Portugal will be expecting a win against Ireland tonight.

19:45 Saturday

Portugal meet Ireland in Group F of the World Cup Qualifiers.

Portugal vs Republic of Ireland Prediction

Portugal will hope for a more comfortable experience against Ireland than they enjoyed against Hungary in their most recent World Cup qualifier. Roberto Martinez's side needed a late João Cancelo goal to avoid a 2-2 draw at the Puskas Arena. The hosts have won both of their Group F matches so far, and are unbeaten in five international outings.

Ireland face a daunting task on Saturday as they take on a Portugal side that sits top of the Group F standings. The visitors, by contrast, have picked up just one point so far, following up a 2-2 draw with Hungary with a disappointing 2-1 away defeat against Armenia in gameweek two.

Score Prediction: Portugal 3-0 Republic of Ireland
