Hungary

Scotland – Hungary Prediction

Both teams need to win. For Hungary, it’s the only chance to finish 3^rd to have chance to advance to the knockout stage. Scotland realise that they need to get 3 points too, as there have been no team to qualify for the Round of 16 with just 2 points in the group stage. Both teams will need to attack.

Attacking style is what these side usually stick to. Scotland have scored at least 2 goals in 7 out of their last 10 official games and Hungary have scored at least 2 goals in 6 out of their last 8 official games. Both sides tend to make mistakes when defending. Scotland have conceded at least a goal in the last 5 official games, Hungary – in the last 7 matches. 

Our prediction is Both teams to score + Over 2.5 at 19/20 .
