After delivering a winning selection in each of Scotland's opening two matches at Euro 2024, SlipsTips is back with another Bet Builder ahead of the Scots' huge showdown with Hungary on Sunday night.
Scotland vs Hungary (Sunday, 20:00)
After being eviscerated 5-1 by Germany on the opening night of the competition, Steve Clarke’s side clawed themselves back into the qualification picture thanks to hard-fought 1-1 draw with Switzerland.
As for Hungary, they have nothing to show for their efforts following two rounds of action at Euro 2024, meaning they also find themselves in must-win territory at the MHPArena on Sunday night
Maroc Rossi’s men are 6/4 favourites on Betfred to break Tartan Army hearts, while the Scots are 7/4 (Betfred) outsiders to break new ground by reaching the round of 16.
In terms of Bet Builder for this make-or-break showdown, I’m going to keep it relatively simple by backing both teams to receive 20 or more Booking Points at 10/11 on Betfred.
Given that both sides are entering the last chance saloon in Stuttgart on Sunday night, there is plenty of scope for a fiery-tempered contest.
Steve Clarke’s side were shown a red card and two yellows during their Euro 2024 curtain-raiser with Germany before clocking up three cautions against Switzerland last out.
As for Hungary, they have received exactly two yellow cards in each of their opening two matches of the tournament, a trend that is expected to continue here given the Magyars’ current predicament.
In fact, a bet on both teams to receive 20+ Booking points would have proven a successful path to profit in each of the pair’s four combined outings at Euro 2024 so far.
Add into the mix that Argentine referee Facundo Tello has averaged north of five cards per 90 in all competitions this season, then all the necessary ingredients appear to be in place for a full blooded affair as Group A reaches its thrilling finale.
