Armenia vs Hungary: prediction & betting odds 13 November 2025

Matchday 9 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers between Armenia and Hungary will take place on November 13 at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium in Yerevan. Armenia vs. Hungary: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Armenia

The team complicated their situation with losses to direct competitors in the October World Cup qualifying matches. After defeats to both Hungary and Ireland, Armenia found themselves at the bottom of the group. As a result, Egishe Melikyan's team lost their chance for first place and a direct ticket to the World Cup. The fight for the second spot is still possible, but ideally, the national team needs to beat Hungary. Even with a draw, Armenia could be guaranteed to miss out on the top two if Ireland beats Portugal in the parallel match. The results have been unconvincing, with only one win and three losses from the last four World Cup qualifiers. Overall, Armenia has lost six of their last seven games in this tournament.

• At least two goals have been scored in five of Armenia's last six World Cup qualifying matches.
• Armenia's uncompromising run in this tournament has lasted seven matches (1 win, 6 losses).
• The team has not won in 10 of their last 11 World Cup qualifiers (3 draws, 7 losses).

Predicted lineup for Armenia (3-4-3)

Henrikh Avakyan – Gevorg Arutyunyan, Sergey Muradyan, Erik Piloyan – Kamo Hovhannisyan, Karen Muradyan, Eduard Spertsyan, Nair Tiknizyan – Zhirayr Shagoyan, Edgar Sevikyan, Grant-Leon Ranos.

The main striker and team captain Tigran Barseghyan is suspended.

Hungary

Like Armenia, the team has managed only one win in their last four matches of the current qualifying cycle. However, the Hungarians have collected two more points, suffered just one defeat, and are in second place in the table. Importantly, the team has already faced Portugal twice, so Marco Rossi's side will have an easier schedule than their competitors in the final stages. Hungary will secure second place in the group if they beat Armenia and Ireland fails to earn any points against Portugal. Theoretically, the national team could even reach the top, but the likelihood seems low, as they need to make up five points on Portugal in the remaining two rounds.

• Hungary has a seven-game scoring streak in World Cup qualifying.
• Marco Rossi's side is unbeaten in four consecutive away matches in this tournament (1 win, 3 draws).
• At least two goals have been scored in Hungary's last seven World Cup qualifying matches.

Predicted lineup for Hungary (4-3-3)

Balazs Toth – Loic Nego, Willi Orban, Attila Szalai, Milos Kerkez – Callum Styles, Andras Schafer, Dominik Szoboszlai – Roland Sallai, Bendeguz Bolla, Barnabas Varga.

Match Prediction: Armenia vs. Hungary

Both teams need at least a draw, ideally a win, so they should both push forward aggressively. Hungary is traditionally dangerous in attack, scoring in every match of the current qualifying cycle, with two goals per game. Overall, Hungary's scoring streak in World Cup qualifying has lasted seven matches. However, it's important to note that the Hungarians often make defensive errors and rarely keep a clean sheet. As a result, both teams have scored in five of Hungary's last seven World Cup qualifying matches. This pattern holds true in Hungary's last four away games in this tournament.

Armenia has failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 World Cup qualifiers, often losing without scoring. However, most of these failures occur in away games. At home, the team also concedes regularly but suffers fewer defeats and rarely finishes a match without scoring. In Armenia's last nine World Cup qualifiers, both teams have scored six times.

Prediction: Both teams to score – yes
