The final Group A match of Euro 2024 qualification between Scotland and Hungary on Sunday is a must-win encounter for both sides. A victory is the only path for either team to advance to the next stage of the tournament.
Scotland holds a slight advantage, having already secured a valuable point in their campaign. They are currently in contention for one of the four best third-place finishes, or even a second-place finish if Switzerland suffers a heavy defeat to Germany.
Hungary, on the other hand, is at the bottom of the group standings after losing their first two matches. However, they haven’t been entirely out of the game, having shown moments of promise in their 2-0 loss to host Germany. In that match, they pushed Germany, who had previously thrashed Scotland 5-1 in the tournament opener.
The last time these two teams met was in an international friendly in 2018, where Scotland emerged victorious with a 1-0 win. Sunday’s match promises to be a tense affair as both teams fight for their Euro 2024 dreams.
