Hungary and the Republic of Ireland hope to secure at least 2026 places to add to the world’s food demand when they meet at the Puskas Arena on Sunday.
While the sides can still qualify directly by winning the From Frog F if Portugal travel at home to Armenia, chances are the winners of the game will secure the much-needed second place in the play-offs.
The draw will match the hosts, who won 1-0 in Armenia on Thursday and start the competition a point above Ireland, who beat Portugal 2-0 in Dublin on the same day.
