Cristiano Ronaldo is set to miss Portugal's first game of the World Cup after being sent off on VAR review for violent conduct. He should 🤔 get a two-game ban which would be served vs. Armenia on Sunday and the first game of the World Cup. (Assuming Portugal qualify auto).

Preview of Ireland vs Portugal World Cup Qualifier: team news, predicted lineups, and where to watch. Portugal leads Group F as Ireland faces key absences.

Fans in the United States can catch all Thursday’s action on either fubo TV or Vix, while it’s Amazon Prime Video for those looking to watch from the United Kingdom. In Canada, the game will be broadcast by DAZN Canada, with fuboTV Canada also providing their own coverage.

Portugal will qualify directly for the World Cup as Group F winners if they defeat Armenia at home this afternoon. Hungary can secure second spot with a win or a draw against the Republic of Ireland, while the Boys in Green must defeat the Magyars to break into the top two spots.

Cristiano Ronaldo hopes that the Ireland fans will not boo him once again as they did in 2021 when Portugal come to the Aviva on Thursday
