Scotland and Hungary will compete for third place in Group A when they meet at MHPArena on Sunday evening. After suffering a heavy 5-1 defeat to Germany, the Scots bounced back by drawing with Switzerland in their second group match. Now, they face a crucial must-win game against Hungary. Real Sociedad defender Kieran Tierney was injured in the game against Switzerland, so Scott McKenna is expected to fill in.
Hungary, meanwhile, has struggled in the European Championship finals, losing both of their group games. Given Hungary’s defensive issues, betting on Scotland, led by Andy Robertson, seems promising. Marco Rossi’s team has no new injury concerns for the trip to Stuttgart. In their last meeting six years ago, Scotland secured a 1-0 victory over Hungary in a friendly, thanks to a goal from Matt Phillips.
Prediction: 2-1 in favor of Scotland.
