Scotland vs Hungary predictions

Scotland and Hungary have no reason to hold back as they head into their final Euro 2024 Group A game and that should lead to an entertaining contest in Stuttgart.

While England's 1-1 draw with Denmark was regarded as a national crisis, Scotland have a spring in their step after achieving the same result against Switzerland in their second group match.

Lowering expectations is always a smart move for a national-team manager and the only way was up for Steve Clarke's side after their 5-1 drubbing by Germany in the opening game of the tournament.

But the Scots were good value for their draw with the Swiss, who needed a stunning strike from Xherdan Shaqiri to equalise Scott McTominay's extravagantly deflected opener in Cologne.

The point leaves Scotland needing a win against Hungary to give themselves a chance of progressing from a tough section.

They are 8-5 to reach the last 16, from even-money at the start of the tournament, but that represents a recovery of sorts after their bruising defeat to hosts Germany.

Scotland had Ryan Porteous sent off just before half-time and only got on the scoresheet through an 87th-minute Antonio Rudiger own goal, having mustered just one off-target shot themselves.

They showed far more attacking intent against the Swiss, when McTominay had four attempts at goal and centre-back Grant Hanley hit the post with a second-half header.

McTominay's fellow Premier League midfielders John McGinn and Billy Gilmour also impressed for Scotland and they can contribute to a high-scoring clash with Hungary.

The Magyars must also go on the offensive after losing 3-1 to Switzerland and 2-0 to Germany in their first two matches.

After their opening defeat to the Swiss, coach Marco Rossi advised against betting even one Hungarian forint – less than 1p – on his team beating Germany.

That tip proved to be a shrewd one but Rossi's men are slight favourites to beat Scotland and backing over 3.5 goals could be worth a few forints.

It has been a winning bet in six of Scotland's last nine internationals and could easily have copped in their matchday-two fixture against the Swiss.

Both teams scored in the first 26 minutes and both had chances to win the game as Hanley hit the woodwork and Scotland keeper Angus Gunn made a couple of smart saves either side of half-time.

Hungary talisman Dominik Szoboszlai set up striker Barnabas Varga for their goal against Switzerland and Liverpool's Szoboszlai, Varga and fellow forward Roland Sallai had eight shots between them against Germany. 

Varga has scored 46 goals in 48 starts in his last two top-flight seasons in Hungary and he could trouble a Scotland defence missing the injured Kieran Tierney and the suspended Porteous.

Hungary's last three Euro 2024 qualifiers against Lithuania, Bulgaria and Montenegro, all featured over 3.5 goals and neither they nor Scotland will want to end their campaign with a whimper.
