Scotland W vs Hungary W

This was Scotland’s 12th major tournament group stage and in 50% of those they have failed to win a single match – at the 1954, 1958, 1986 and 1998 World Cups and EURO 2020 and 2024.

Hungary’s goal scored by Kevin Csoboth in the 100th minute was the latest goal ever scored in a European Championship match (excl. extra-time), timed at 99 minutes and 32 seconds.

Scotland had just 17 shots at EURO 2024 in total – since the group stage was introduced in 1980, that is the joint fewest by a nation in a group stage, along with Northern Ireland at EURO 2016.

This will be Scotland and Hungary’s first competitive encounter. All nine of their previous meetings were international friendlies (3 wins for Scotland, 4 wins for Hungary, 2 draws).

Scotland have won two of their last three meetings with Hungary (L1), with this their first encounter since a 1-0 away win in March 2018.

Scotland are looking to reach the knockout stages of the UEFA European Championship for the first time. Although they have won just two of their 11 group games at the UEFA EURO (D3 L6), both wins came on MD3: in 1992 vs CIS (3-0) and 1996 vs Switzerland (1-0).

Hungary have lost both of their games so far at EURO 2024, losing to Germany and Switzerland. They’ve only lost all of their matches at two major tournaments before, losing both games at EURO 1972 and all three group games at the 1978 World Cup.

Scotland’s starting XI against Switzerland last time out had a combined total of 470 caps (including that game), their most for an international ever. It was also their first starting lineup to feature five players with more than 50 caps – McTominay (51), Hanley (52), McGregor (62), McGinn (68) and Robertson (73).
