The final leg of the UEFA Qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will include Portugal welcoming the Armenian National Team at the Estadio do Dragão.

For Armenia national football team, it will be an opportunity to prove its mettle.

Portugal vs Armenia Preview

Portugal's dream run of six wins on the trot caused many to believe the nation was the frontrunners for the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Fortunately for Robert Martinez, his players have been handed a reality check in the last two games. Conceding a late goal against Hungary and a toothless 2-0 defeat to Ireland has postponed the qualification for the national team. The likes of Goncalo Ramos will look to step up in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo. The PSG striker has six goals this season.

Mixed results and inconsistencies have marked the Armenian National Team's latest matches. In the last six games, Armenia has collected just a solitary victory to go with four defeats and a draw. During this period, the country has scored four goals and conceded 12. The qualification campaign will be a good lesson and experience for the players and will surely assist them in further competitions. Grant-Leon Ranos and Eduard Spertsyan have one goal each in the current qualifiers. Given below is a detailed look at the Portugal vs Armenia Prediction.
