Scotland and Hungary meet on Sunday in a crunch Euro 2024 Group A clash in Stuttgart with both sides still in the hunt for a place in the last 16.
Following Scotland’s 5-1 defeat by Germany in Munich in the opening match, Steve Clarke’s men bounced back to claim their first point of the tournament with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Switzerland in Cologne on Wednesday.
Germany are already through to the knock-out stages after two wins, while Switzerland will secure the second automatic qualification place if they avoid a heavy defeat to to the hosts that would allow Scotland the chance to overturn a six-goal deficit in goal difference.
Scotland are Hungary are effectively battling it out to claim one of the four best third-place spots up for grabs. A win for Scotland would give them four points which would almost certainly secure their place in the next round.
Hungary can also still qualify for the last 16 with a victory over the Scots, and are unlikely to make too many, if any, changes for the match following an impressive performance in their 2-0 defeat to Germany on Wednesday. Their coach Marco Rossi has no major selection issues to contend with.
It is not the same for his opposite number Clarke, who will be forced to make at least one alteration, with Kieran Tierney ruled out of the rest of the tournament with a hamstring injury sustained against the Swiss. Ryan Porteous is also suspended following his red card against Germany.
We take a look at how each team might line up.

The Aston Villa captain has had an underwhelming tournament thus far but given his immense contribution in a Scotland shirt over 68 caps to date, it is likely Steve Clarke will trust the midfielder to come good in the group decider. Photo: Stu Forster

The Southampton striker hasn't had much of a goal sniff in the tournament yet but his selfless running and work-rate was a major factor in the draw against Switzerland. He will start but Lawrence Shankland will be waiting in the wings to come on if Scotland need a goal. Photo: KIRILL KUDRYAVTSEV
