Scotland vs Hungary Odds, Tips & Preview

Scotland v Hungary Betting Tips

As Group A reaches its climax, what can we expect as Scotland face Hungary? Here are some insights to help you plan your betting approach:

• Though he plays primarily as a holding midfielder for Manchester United, Scott McTominay is Scotland’s biggest goal threat, and he plays further forward for his national team. He bagged five goals during Euro 2024 qualifying and was Scotland’s top scorer. Backing McTominay as an any-time goalscorer will likely be a shrewd bet in this final Group A fixture. 
• Hungary were brilliant in Euro 2024 qualifying, topping Group G and scoring 16 times in their eight matches. While Scotland were pretty solid defensively in Group A, their shaky recent form can’t be ignored. Given that both teams have a goal threat in their ranks and will be looking to win this fixture, a both teams to score wager will likely be a good bet.

This Fixture in History – Scotland v Hungary Head-to-Head Results

Scotland have only faced Hungary nine times over the years. The Tartan Army won on three occasions, while Hungary won four times, with two draws. As for goals, Scotland notched 15 times, and Hungary scored 17. In other words, there’s very little to separate the two based on their head-to-head record. 

The most recent meeting was in a friendly in Budapest in 2018. Matt Phillips scored the only goal of the game, helping Scotland win 1-0.

Scotland Man to Watch: John McGinn

Aston Villa’s John McGinn is crucial to Scotland’s play. He leads their press, is aggressive in the tackle, and makes things happen going forward. He also poses a goal threat, with 18 goals in his 64 caps.

Known as “Super John McGinn” by the Tartan Army, he’s loved for his tenacity and work ethic, and he will look to drive Scotland to victory against Hungary in this clash.

Hungary Man to Watch: Barnabas Varga

Dominik Szoboszlai is Hungary’s best player and will be the main threat against Scotland. However, keep an eye on Ferencvaros front man Barnabas Varga, who poses a significant goal threat for the Magyar.

He has four goals in nine caps for his national team and scored 20 goals in his first 23 league starts for the Hungarian giants. Though a relative newcomer to the international scene, Scotland must keep Varga quiet to win this one.
