What is at stake for Armenia and Portugal?

Portugal are already guaranteed a place in the World Cup qualifying playoffs as a result of their performance in the 2024-25 Nations League.

While they may have that safety net, Roberto Martinez's side will be looking to secure automatic qualification by finishing in top spot in Group F. 

Meanwhile, first position is likely to be out of reach for Armenia, but they will have hopes of claiming second place and a spot in the playoffs. 

Realistically, Armenia will view Hungary and Ireland as their rivals for the qualifying campaign, so a positive result on Saturday would be seen as a welcome bonus.
