Scotland and Hungary will decide who gets the third place in Group A and a chance to continue the adventure at the 2024 EURO. A win here would suit either side, while a draw doesn’t guarantee the next phase.

Before Betting on Scotland vs. Hungary

The Tartan Army played 1-1 against Switzerland, which was a big boost for their morale, following a loss to Germany at the opening event of the competition. They have been destroyed by the hosts yet miraculously recovered against the Swiss crew.

Once again, we saw a deficit of technique and creativity in the midfield, but overall, the team is more than capable of hurting the rivals due to its physical shape and aggressive approach. Though, it’s their only virtue and nothing more than that.

The Hungarians were solid against Germany. The first goal was after a foul, and that’s a fact. That situation certainly decided the course of the event. Afterward, they managed to bounce back, yet luck was missing, and the Germans won.

Hungary lost for the third time in the previous four events, allowing at least two goals in each event, seven in total. The backline is kinda slow and can’t compete with fast players, especially if the backs are offensive-minded, which is the case with both of their previous opponents.

Scotland vs. Hungary Head to Head

The Scots have been better than Hungary in their previous meeting, back in 2018, 0-1 (friendly international). Prior that one, they’ve met in Scotland in 2004 when Hungary trashed the hosts, 0-3.

The Scots have an edge, but overall, that one point won’t be enough for them to be among the four best third-placed teams—or at least it won’t guarantee them the spot. So, for all those who think they won’t attack, that’s simply not true. The game has high stakes, and our pick here is moderate efficiency, meaning two or three goals.
