Team recent situation analysis:

Hungary's World Cup qualifiers started poorly. When facing Ireland in the first group stage away game, the Hungarian team not only failed to show their due offensive firepower, but instead was sent off a player too early, resulting in the team's passive scene. In the end, it was precisely because of the fewer players on the field that the Irish team seized the opportunity to equalize the big score. If the Hungarian team failed to score points on the Portugal team in the second group stage, then the promotion situation of this team may not be optimistic. In terms of the tactical board, the Hungarian team used a 4141 formation to compete with the Irish team in the first game. Although using the strategy of starting, the Hungarian team quickly gained a two-goal lead. However, the players still exposed the flaws of being too impatient. Moreover, after being sent off a wing player, the entire offensive system of the Hungarian team fell into a paralysis. It is not difficult to see from the side that the Hungarian team is still a team mainly raiding on the wing. If Sale will still be suspended in the next round, whether the Hungarian coach can restore the team's offensive firepower through personnel adjustments will likely directly determine the final trend of the game. After all, the Hungarian team will definitely not be able to limit the Portuguese team's continuous offensive by relying solely on defense, not to mention that the Hungarian team is not a defensive team.

Of course, looking at the previous World Cup qualifiers, it is not difficult to find that the teams playing at home are often more motivated. The Hungarian team is actually not lacking in passion for the game. Even when facing stronger opponents, they often dare to invest their energy and physical fitness on the offensive end. The Portuguese team is the team with the highest call for promotion in Group F, and showed extremely strong offensive firepower in the first game. Then the Hungarian team players' enthusiasm should also increase. Considering that the Hungarian team can fully accept a point in this game, perhaps these factors will also provide some additional confidence bonus to the Hungarian team playing at home.

Portuguese showed super offensive firepower in its first group match. Facing Armenia, the weakest in the same group, the Portuguese team easily scored three points from its opponent. Veteran Ronaldo also scored two goals in this game. While rewriting his national team's goal record again, it also proved that he could still help the team, and the performance of another veteran Cancelo was also quite eye-catching. It can be said that the overall strength of the Portuguese team has indeed been greatly improved.

Of course, some fans may say that when Ronaldo is on the court, the Portuguese team's offensive advancement speed is greatly restricted and cannot show the Portuguese team's real combat power. Players such as Vitinia, Felix and Ramos have stronger individual combat capabilities. This shows that if the Portuguese coach puts Ronaldo on the bench, the overall strength of the Portuguese team will be further improved. But personally, Ronaldo is still very important to the Portuguese team. Although as he gets older, Ronaldo's sports combat ability and physical confrontation ability have weakened, but with his rich experience in the competition and a strong sense of front-end smell, his state stability is still stronger than that of young players. Since the veteran's fuel tank still has oil in his fuel tank, the Portuguese coach naturally needs to give more respect to such a player who has led the Portuguese team out of the trough step by step.

Event analysis: There is still a big gap in overall strength between the Hungarian team and the Portuguese team. In the previous six encounters, the Hungarian team only achieved a record of one draw and five losses, and it was impossible to create too much pressure for the Portuguese team to grab points. However, the Hungarian team has felt a lot of pressure to advance. When the main winger Sale was suspended in the second game, I believe that the head coach of the Hungarian team will definitely formulate a more pragmatic tactical style to compete with the Portuguese team. What's more, the Portuguese team does not need to expose its true combat power too much. As long as it can take away three-pointers away, it will be considered as completing the head coach's established goal. Then, when one side lacks desire to win, I believe that the Portuguese team will need to spend a lot of time and energy in this game before they can grab a valuable three-pointer from the Hungarian team as they wish.
