The last games for both sides in the Group A table, sees ‘The Tartan Army’, who’ve never made it past the group stage in any of their previous 3 attempts, take on the ‘Mighty Magyars’ who’s unbeaten qualifying run was slightly undone when they lost against the ROI earlier this year. While Scotland will look to improve on their one victory in ten game run of form, Hungary will be looking to put some points on the board themselves, knowing that both Germany and Switzerland are likely favourites to lead the group table. For now, let’s have a look at the what the bookies are saying ahead of the game and the latest Scotland vs Hungary odds ahead of late kick-off on the 23rd June.
Looking at the Euro 2024 latest betting odds, at the time of writing and according to BetVictor, it looks a close call with Scotland at odds of 9/5*, meaning a £10 wager would pay out £28 if correct, while the odds on Hungary to win over the 90 minutes are 11/8*, where the same £10 bet would return £23.75. It seems the highest odds are for those who think the match will end in a draw, as 23/10* means that a £10 stake would pay £33 if both teams are tied by the final whistle. While Hungary are currently 26th in the FIFA world standings, up one place, and Scotland sit 39th having fallen 5 positions themselves recently, perhaps the match will be just as close as the bookmakers reckon, with both teams needing to improve to land all three points on the day.
With Scotland’s coach, Steve Clarke, hoping that captain Andy Robertson can drive his team forwards without injured Lyndon Dykes and omitted veteran keeper, Craig Gordon, Hungary’s own head coach, Marco Rossi, will turn to his own captain, Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai and lead striker Roland Sallai, to bag a goal or two and help his team overcome a Scottish side and make it past their previous 2020 Euro group stage exit. While both sides are the underdogs of Group A and may have to settle with competing for a third-place qualification, Hungary seem to have a little more depth to their team and we predict they will edge this one after a tough battle against Scotland.
