On September 6, 2025, Republic of Ireland and Hungary clashed at Aviva Stadium, Dublin, in a FIFA World Cup Qualifying - UEFA match that ended in a 2-2 draw. The game was filled with action, seeing Hungary take an early lead with goals from Barnabas Varga (2') and Roland Sallai (15'). Republic of Ireland fought back, with Evan Ferguson scoring in the 49th minute and Adam Idah equalizing in added time (90'+3').
Hungary's Sallai received a red card in the 52nd minute, reducing them to ten men. Republic of Ireland dominated possession with 66.7% and had significantly more shots (23) compared to Hungary's 9. However, Hungary was more clinical, getting 6 shots on target to Ireland's 8. The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored a Republic of Ireland win, with a 39.2% probability, which proved incorrect. The draw probability was predicted at 27.9%.
Both teams utilized a 4-4 setup, with Ireland in a 4-4-2 and Hungary in a 4-4-1-1. The match was intense, with a total of 27 fouls committed and 8 yellow cards shown (3 to Ireland, 5 to Hungary). Ireland's upcoming match is against Armenia on September 9th, while Hungary faces Portugal on the same day.
Considering their recent form, Republic of Ireland has struggled for consistent wins, drawing their last two friendlies before this game. Hungary's form is also patchy, with recent losses in the UEFA Nations League. Looking at Republic of Ireland's previous games, they have 2 wins and 3 draws in the last 5 games. Hungary, meanwhile, has only one win, one draw and 3 losses in their last 5 games.
The Republic of Ireland will need to improve their finishing to secure wins in upcoming matches. Hungary must shore up their defense, as they've conceded several goals recently. The draw in this match suggests a balanced encounter, although Hungary playing with 10 men for a significant part of the second half influenced the final result. The AI underestimated Hungary's resilience, particularly after going down to 10 men. Republic of Ireland's late goal highlighted their persistence but also exposed defensive vulnerabilities.
