Scotland vs Hungary prediction

The final round of Group A fixtures at Euro 2024 takes place this Sunday with both Scotland and Hungary needing a win if they are to keep alive their hope of a place in the next round. Scotland banished the demons of a the 5-1 demolition by hosts Germany with a credible 1-1 draw against Switzerland on matchday 2.

Hungary, who had a near-perfect qualification campaign, failed to match those standards at this tournament with back-to-back losses to Switzerland and Germany in their opening two group games. Marco Rossi’s side are mathematically in contention should they manage to win but that will require a lot of permutations to go their way.

Given the magnitude of this game, we expect a close contest here. Opportunities will be far and few in between either way. As such we are backing this match to have no more than three total goals scored as our opening Scotland vs Hungary prediction for this game

Statistics for Scotland vs Hungary Prediction

Team News Scotland

• Scotland will still be without the suspended Porteous for this final group fixture against Hungary, after UEFA extended the ban to two games. Scott McKenna is expected to fill the void at the back
• Kieran Tierney was stretchered off during their Swiss stalemate and is ruled out of this clash and will likely be replaced by Grant Hanley
• Midfielder Scott McTominay became the sixth Scotland player to score at the Euros when he netted against Switzerland and they will be counting on him to continue his great performances in his national team colours

Team News Hungary

• Coach Rossi will be without the services of 22-year-old defender Botond Balogh, who hurt his ankle in practice and will not be part of the selection
• On the right-hand side of the midfield, Rossi could opt for Bendeguz Bolla or Endre Botka, in place of 34-year-old Attila Fiola who hasn’t performed on that flank
• Captain Dominik Szoboszlai has been a no-show in the tournament so far. Hungary will hope he steps up as they’ve not lost when he’s been on the scoresheet since September 2019 (W8, D1).
