Portugal will welcome Armenia to the Estádio do Dragão in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Sunday. The hosts currently top Group F, having won three of their five games. In contrast, Armenia has just one win to their name and sits at the bottom of the table.
Seleção das Quinas suffered their first defeat of the ongoing qualifying campaign earlier this week, losing 2-0 away to the Republic of Ireland. This match marked the first time since 2021 that Portugal failed to score in the qualifiers. They will be eager to return to their goalscoring form in this upcoming fixture.
Meanwhile, the visitors are struggling as well, having suffered a third consecutive loss in their previous qualifier—a 1-0 home defeat to Hungary. Armenia have now failed to score in four of their last five games.
**Portugal vs Armenia Head-to-Head and Key Numbers**
The two teams have met seven times across all competitions. As expected, Portugal has been dominant, securing five wins, with the other two matches ending in draws. Their most recent encounter was in September during the reverse fixture, where Portugal recorded a convincing 5-0 away victory.
In 2025, Armenia has registered just one win across all competitions, which was a home victory against Ireland in the World Cup qualifiers. Portugal, on the other hand, have conceded two goals in three of their last four qualifying games.
Armenia’s last three World Cup qualifying wins have all been at home, while they have failed to score in five of their last six away qualifier matches.
**Portugal vs Armenia Prediction**
After suffering only their second loss of the year earlier this week, Portugal will be keen to bounce back. They boast a 100% home record against Armenia, having kept two clean sheets in three matches, making them strong favorites for this encounter.
However, Portugal will be without Cristiano Ronaldo for this match, as the star player was sent off in the loss to Ireland.
Armenia will look to finish their qualifying campaign on a positive note. Despite losing their last three games without scoring, they remain motivated to improve their record, although they have failed to score in four of their seven matches against Portugal.
Portugal only need to avoid defeat to secure their qualification. Considering their home advantage and superior form, we back them to claim a comfortable victory.
**Prediction:** Portugal 3-1 Armenia
