Euro 2024 - Scotland vs Hungary: Team News and Prediction

 

Scotland (3412) - Gunn; Hendry, Hanley, McKenna; Ralston, Gilmour, McGregor, Robertson; McTominay; McGinn, Adams

 

Hungary (3421) - Gulacsi; Fiola, Orban, Dardai; Bolla, Nagy, Schafer, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Sallai; Varga 

 

Scotland vs Hungary Key Battle 

 

Che Adams may get the nod to lead the charge for Scotland once more tonight, though he faces competition from Lawrence Shankland in the starting XI. The 27-year-old hasn't exactly caught the eye in Germany this summer, managing just two key passes and one shot, but he'll work hard to make a nuisance of himself against Hungary.

 

It'll be down to centre-back Willi Orban to keep Adams at bay in Stuttgart. The 31-year-old has ample experience in both the Bundesliga and Champions League, and his competition and top-flight knowledge is of the utmost importance if Hungary are to sneak into the last-16 as one of the best third-placed sides.
