Republic of Ireland’s shock win over Portugal on Thursday has put the cat among the pigeons in World Cup qualifying Group F and it is all to play for in the final group fixtures on Sunday.
Portugal looked to be cruising to next summer’s finals in North America but their Dublin defeat means they still need to claim a point at home to Armenia to book their passage to the States next year.
Meanwhile, Hungary and Ireland will slug it out in Budapest in a winner takes all contest that will determine who claims second spot, although the Magyars could still clinch top spot should Portugal fail to beat Armenia.
It leaves us with an intriguing contest at the Puskas Arena on Sunday in a decider which kicks-off at 14:00.

Troy Parrott was the hero for Ireland in their stunning 2-0 win over Portugal on Thursday as the former Tottenham man bagged both goals before half-time at the Aviva Stadium.
Replacing injured top scorer, Evan Ferguson, Parrott made the most of his opportunity to keep his side in with a chance of qualifying for next summer’s World Cup and he will almost certainly lead the line for the Boys in Green in Budapest on Sunday following his heroics.
Three of the last four meetings have ended in draws and another tight encounter looks likely with so much at stake in Budapest on Sunday.
