Portugal will qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup with a win in Dublin, or if they avoid defeat and Hungary fail to beat Armenia. Ireland must win to retain any hope of direct qualification. Portugal's attacking depth and adaptability, coupled with the leadership of C. Ronaldo, should prove decisive. Expect a competitive first hour before Portugal’s movement and experience tilt the contest their way.

Portugal are strong favourites to win, and given Ireland's pragmatic approach and tendency to keep games tight, a high-scoring affair seems unlikely. Backing Portugal to win with under 3.5 goals combines a likely outcome with a potentially higher payout.
