    The Republic of Ireland got off to a poor start in their 2026 World Cup qualifying, losing 2-1 to Armenia in September. They put up a fight against Portugal last month and later beat Armenia at home. Portugal, managed by Roberto Martinez, started their campaign strongly with big wins, though they drew with Hungary after their tough game against Ireland.

      Portugal dominated possession (~70%) and shots (30 vs 2) but struggled to convert chances. Ireland defended resolutely, limited clear chances, but lacked attacking output to threaten Portugals goal. Portugals breakthrough only came because Ireland tired and left space in added time. As Irelands coach noted: ...as the players got tired we gave them too much time to create chances. They maintain a perfect record so far in Group F of the 2026 qualifier: 3 wins, 9 points. Despite dominance, their match sharpness in final third needs worklots of chances but slim margin for error. Their home record vs Ireland is strong: unbeaten in at least six home games (W5 D1). The result is mixed: positive defensive performance, but again failing to secure anything from a match where a draw was realistic. They are now in a precarious qualification spot; to stay in contention theyll need to lift their attacking game and capitalize on chances.

This game is crucial for both sides, not only affecting their rankings in the group but also influencing their subsequent qualification prospects. In terms of tactical systems, Ireland may adopt a relatively conservative defensive - counterattack strategy. They need to maintain a high level of concentration and teamwork on the defensive end, and restrict Portugal's attacking space through a well - organized defensive line. Once gaining possession of the ball, the Irish team will utilize the speed and positioning of their forwards to launch a quick counter - attack, aiming to create scoring opportunities before the Portuguese defense can settle. The Portuguese team is expected to continue their consistent attacking football style. They have many players with excellent skills and offensive capabilities. In the game, they often control the midfield and pas
