Scotland and Hungary are set to face off in a critical UEFA EURO 2024 Group A match on Sunday, June 23, 2024, at Mercedes-Benz-Arena in Stuttgart.
Both teams enter this match needing a victory to keep their knockout stage hopes alive. Scotland earned their first point of the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Switzerland, following a heavy 5-1 defeat to Germany. Hungary, still searching for their first point, faces elimination unless they can secure a win.
Scotland will be without key defender Kieran Tierney, who suffered a hamstring injury, and Ryan Porteous, who is serving a two-match ban. Steve Clarke’s defensive options are further limited by pre-tournament injuries to Aaron Hickey and Nathan Patterson. Scott McKenna is expected to step in for Tierney.
Hungary may rotate their squad as they have little to lose. Captain Dominik Szoboszlai, despite missing some training, is expected to start, providing midfield drive. Willi Orban will also play a crucial role in defense.
Prediction: Scotland 2-1 Hungary
