Portugal need a win really, but they have done in their previous two games and have failed on both occasions. Their attacking play just doesn’t seem up to scratch and Ronaldo has been a disappointment. We know that Portugal are largely a one-man team, and with him failing to perform you just can’t see where their goals will come from.
Hungary held off the attacking threats of Austria well and dominated the game against Iceland, and they know that they just need a point to guarantee qualification. I expect them to switch back to the 4-5-1 that frustrated Austria. With Portugal struggling to find top gear I think that formation will frustrate them too, and odds of 2/1 for a Hungary Win or Draw Double Chance look too good to turn down.
I think it will be draw in this game.

Portugal arrive at Euro 2020 as holders and in possession of one of the tournament’s most formidable frontlines, Fernando Santos’ side spearheaded by the evergreen Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo needs just one more goal to become the leading scorer in European Championship history outright, another accolade the 36-year-old closes in on with his 104 international goals the highest ever scored by a European player and five short of the all-time global record.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has shown few signs of slowing down and finished as Serie A’s leading scorer last season, becoming the first player in history to win Golden Boot accolades in England, Spain and Italy.
Supported by a stellar supporting cast including Joao Felix, Bruno Fernandes and Manchester City trio Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias and Joao Cancelo, Portugal have options right across the pitch and will be confident of progressing despite their difficult draw.
Qualification proved inconsistent and challenging with Portugal finishing as runners-up to Ukraine, though Santos’ side have lost just one of their past 13 internationals – a 1-0 loss to world champions and Group F opponents France.
Portugal have fluctuated between 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 systems in recent months, with Andre Silva – who scored 28 league goals for Eintracht Frankfurt to outscore Erling Haaland in the Bundesliga – competing for a role to partner Ronaldo alongside Felix and Liverpool’s Diogo Jota.
