LISBON, Portugal (Interstat) — Portugal looks to rebound from its first loss of the World Cup qualifying campaign when it hosts Armenia on Sunday.

The Seleção (3-1-1) were stunned 2-0 by Ireland on Thursday, a result that halted their momentum in the global tournament. Before that setback, the Portuguese side had been in strong form, with a 5-1-1 record across all competitions this season.

Armenia (1-4-0), meanwhile, arrives in Lisbon on a four-match losing streak in qualifying, including a 1-0 home defeat to Hungary on Thursday. Their overall form is equally concerning, having lost five of their last seven matches in all competitions.

The head-to-head history offers Armenia little hope. The teams met twice in September, with Portugal delivering a pair of 5-0 thrashing. The lopsided nature of those results underscores the challenge facing the visitors.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Portugal is projected to secure a 2-0 victory. The home side, led by a cadre of world-class talent, will be heavily favored to get back on track and solidify its position in the qualifying table. For Armenia, avoiding another heavy defeat will be the primary objective against a Portuguese squad eager to make a statement after its recent stumble.
