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.
