Football prediction Hungary vs Scotland: Winning is the reason to live

Before the start of Euro 2024, Scotland head coach Steve Clarke clearly stated the goal of winning 4 points to get a ticket to the knockout round.

A 5-1 defeat to hosts Germany on the opening day dented that ambition. However, a 1-1 draw with Switzerland opened up an opportunity for McTominay and his teammates ahead of the final round of matches.

McTominay "carries" Scotland's attack

The midfielder of MU still proves his charm in the national team shirt. After the goal against Sommer recognized by UEFA, McTominay increased his scoring record since the beginning of 2023 for Scotland to 8 (played 10 matches).

Taking on the role of central midfielder, but McTominay is doing his part as a striker. Over the two matches in Germany, the MU star took 4/13 shots of Scotland, and touched the ball 8 times in the opponent's penalty area.

Going into the match against Hungary, it was a good omen for Steve Clarke's team as both of Scotland's wins in the group stage of previous Euros came in the third round.

On the other side of the front line, with two consecutive defeats against Switzerland and Germany, Hungary has not known victory in the last eight matches at the Euro finals.

Coach Marco Rossi's team had high expectations after playing well throughout the qualifying round. However, entering the big tournament in the neighboring country, Hungary showed a poor performance.

Two teams are eager to win 3 points

One Szoboszlai swallow cannot make a beautiful spring for Hungary. Now they need to put disappointment aside to play a decisive match with Scotland.

The Central European side's chances of progressing are slim, but they boast enough firepower to exploit any gaps in the Scottish defence.
