Carvalho: Portugal must take their chances

PORTUGAL defender Ricardo Carvalho believes the carrot of reaching the World Cup finals will force Hungary to come out fighting in their crucial qualifier tonight.

Carlos Queiroz’s side went into the Group 1 campaign as favourites to secure the automatic spot for next summer’s World Cup finals in South Africa but instead find themselves on the verge of elimination.

With two games left, Portugal trail leaders Denmark by five points and Sweden by two, with the Scandinavian rivals facing each other in a blockbuster encounter.
