🔴Live🔴SCOTLAND VS HUNGARY- UEFA EURO 2024🔴Live🔴LIVE SCORES & FULL COMMENTARY
The final round of fixtures beckons in Group A at Euro 2024, and only a victory will do for both Scotland and Hungary if they’re to keep their hopes of progression to the knockout stages alive. The pair have failed to pick up a win from their first two matches, but Scotland broke their points duck and rewarded their partisan following with a hard-earned 1-1 draw against Switzerland in Cologne on Wednesday, perhaps banishing some demons from their opening day 5-1 thrashing against Germany.
Manager Steve Clarke’s remedy of “cuddles and kicked backsides” appeared to do the trick, but his side head into this decisive fixture wounded, as key defender Kieran Tierney was stretchered off during their Swiss stalemate, and is ruled out of this clash - a first competitive meeting with Hungary. History is at stake for Scotland in particular, who know that a victory will likely be enough to see them qualify for the knockout stages of a major tournament for the very first time after 11 failed attempts previously!
Widely tipped as ‘dark horses’ for this tournament after losing just one of 16 matches heading into the Euros (W10, D5), Hungary have failed to live up to that billing, suffering a pair of two-goal defeats at this finals so far. Marco Rossi’s side are down but not out at least, and the Magyars will look to conjure some of the spirit from their impressive showing at the last Euros, when they came close to escaping a ‘group of death’ containing France, Portugal and Germany!
Germany proved their tormentors then, just as they did on Wednesday as Hungary found themselves on the end of a disappointing 2-0 defeat. Bouncing back from a result that left Rossi fuming at refereeing “double standards” will be tough though, especially as the Magyars will need to end an eight-match winless streak at the Euros (D4, L4), with three of those defeats seeing them fail to score.
Players to watch: Midfielder Scott McTominay became the sixth Scotland player to score at the Euros when he netted against Switzerland - all six of whom have surnames beginning with ‘Mc’! Hungary will be desperate for captain Dominik Szoboszlai to step up here, as they’ve not lost when he’s been on the scoresheet since September 2019 (W8, D1).
Hot streak: Hungary have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last seven competitive matches.
