Hungary vs Ireland: Match Preview

Ireland's brilliant win against Portugal has left the door firmly ajar for an opportunity at a play-off place should they also beat Hungary this weekend.

Two goals from former Tottenham striker Troy Parrott made sure of the victory, with Ronaldo also dismissed after a coming together with Dara O'Shea.

It's a win that has brought renewed hope, with there still a chance Portugal could not finish top, although that does seem somewhat unlikely given their goal difference advantage.

Hungary had to hang in against Armenia and emerged 1-0 victors, as Barnabas Varga's 33rd-minute header proved enough to give the visitors a huge three points.

A draw for the hosts in Budapest will see them grab the play-off place, so how they set up will be intriguing.

Ireland arrive in good form, and we are expecting fireworks in this one, as it all comes down to this on Sunday afternoon.
