Budapest awaits, as enter the final showdown in Group F with Hungary and Ireland battling it out for three points which would see them secure at least a play-off spot for the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals next summer.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some World Cup qualification odds and betting angles for Sunday’s fixture:

Hungary v Ireland – Sunday, 2pm

Punters can bet on Hungary v Republic of Ireland with William Hill

• Hungary are looking to keep their FIFA World Cup dream alive and avoiding defeat here would secure them at least a play-off spot as they look to participate in a World Cup for the first time since 1986.
• Marco Rossi’s side could even qualify automatically with a win here but it would mean Portugal losing to Armenia which is very unlikely. However, the aim here is simple for the Magyars and that’s to avoid defeat, yet they’ve lost three of their last four on home soil.
• Despite sitting above Ireland in Group F by a single point, Hungary haven’t managed to beat the Republic of Ireland in any of their previous seven meetings, their last victory in this meeting came back in 1969.
  although ——————————–
• The Republic of Ireland have done everything for their fans to keep their World Cup dreams alive, that included winning a “do or die” fixture against Portugal on Thursday night despite being big underdogs, showing this side definitely have belief.
• That 2-0 victory against Portugal secured consecutive victories for the first time since March 2025, whilst the Boys in Green have failed to win any of their last three away games and managing to find the back of the net just once.
• Despite the last two meetings between these two nations producing at least three goals and seeing both sides on the scoresheet, with everything that’s on the line here i’m expecting this to be much cagier, the last three meetings in Budapest between these two have all ended goalless.

Prediction: Draw, Hungary 0-0 Republic of Ireland.
