Scotland vs Hungary TV channel, start time and how to watch Euro 2024 fixture online tomorrow

Scotland must beat Hungary to claim a historic place in the last-16 of Euro 2024 as Steve Clarke’s side look to reach the knockout stages of a major international tournament for the first time.

After a dismal opening defeat to hosts Germany, Scotland kept their hopes alive with a battling 1-1 draw with Switzerland in Cologne to give the Tartan Army hope heading into the final round of Group A.

A victory would put Scotland on four points, which is highly likely to be enough to finish as one of the four best third-place teams at the end of the Euro 2024 group stages.

Anything else will not be good enough, given Scotland’s poor goal difference following the 5-1 defeat to Germany on the opening night, while Hungary know a win could still be enough for them to progress despite coming into the final round on zero points.

Germany are already through thanks to their wins over Scotland and Hungary, while Switzerland reached four points following their opening win over Hungary and draw against Scotland.

What is the Scotland team news?

Kieran Tierney is out of Euro 2024 after he was stretchered off against Switzerland with a hamstring injury, with the left-back already returning to club Arsenal for further assessment. Tierney is likely to be replaced on the left side of Scotland’s back three by Scott McKenna, unless Steve Clarke decides to change the shape and switch to four at the back.

Ryan Porteous remains suspended but Clarke found a better balance in the team against Switzerland with Billy Gilmour brought into midfield, allowing Scott McTominay and John McGinn to push further forward. Scotland need to win, so Clarke may be tempted to name a more attacking side, but the forced alteration of McKenna for Tierney could be the only change.

Predicted line-ups

Scotland XI: Gunn; Hendry, Hanley, McKenna; Ralston, Gilmour, McGregor, Robertson; McTominay, McGinn; Adams

Hungary XI: Gulacsi; Fiola, Orban, Dardai; Bolla, A. Nagy, Schafer, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Sallai; Varga

Odds

Scotland - 17/10

Draw - 3/1

Hungary - 31/20

Prediction

Scotland need to play a perfect game against Hungary and can’t afford some of the moments of inaccuracy that almost cost them against Switzerland. But Scotland managed to turn a corner following their disastrous opening night, and have the belief that they can get the job done. Scotland 1-0 Hungary
