I dont like Portugal's chances of beating Hungary even once if they cant best the "Talent from Tallinn."

If Portugal loses one of those games vs. Hungary its pretty much all over, at this point its head to head between Portugal and Hungary, and Hungary's got harder games left in Sweden, Portugal twice and Denmark.

Statistically theres a lot of wiggle room there for Portugal, but in all honesty I can see Sweden leapfrogging them for that 2nd place spot as they have potentially the easiest schedule left with games against Hungary, Malta, Denmark and Albania. I see 6 guaranteed points there with 6 up for grabs.
