For the game Scotland vs Hungary, we predict Scotland to win 2-1 and this is why. Scotland looked much better in their second game against Switzerland when they managed to steal a point. Hungary have lost both their matches in the Euro and don’t look strong enough in this competition.
Prediction: Scotland to Win – 2.71
We predict Scotland vs Hungary to produce over two goals and this is why. All four matches that these teams were involved in at Euro 2024 ended with two or more goals. In addition, the average number of goals scored in both teams’ past ten games is 3.30 goals per game.
Prediction: Over 2 Goals – 1.32
Scotland’s partisan supporters were rewarded with a well-earned 1-1 draw against Switzerland on Wednesday in Cologne, breaking their point drought. 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!
Hungary were predicted to be ‘dark horses’ for this tournament after losing just one of 16 matches heading into the Euros (W10, D5), but they have lost two two-goal games so far. 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.
