BY SOCCERBASE STAFF12:05 PM 23 JUNE 2024

A place in the Euro 2024 Round of 16 is up for grabs in Sunday night's Group A clash in Stuttgart.

3 best bets and research below:

Bet 1 - Over 2.5 Goals - 1 Point at Best price available at 4/5 with bet365

Both sides will feel they can win this one and it's their easiest game of the group so far.

Scotland have kept just one clean sheet in their last 10, conceding multiple goals in 7. This includes against teams like Finland, Georgia, and Norway.

Hungary have also kept just three clean sheets in their last 10 competitive matches. They scored two or more in seven of their eight qualifiers against weaker opposition than they've faced so far in Germany.

Bet 2 - Grant Hanley Over 0.5 Fouls Committed - 0.5 Points at Best price available 4/6 with Paddy Power and 4/6 with Betfair.

He committed two fouls in his only start against the Swiss last time out. The 32-year-old has dealt with injury problems this season and started six games at club level for Norwich. His latest start for the Canaries came back on March 6th against Boro.

He's now expected to start two games in five days with Tierney out injured and faces a tricky assignment up against the Hungarian attacking trio of Varga, Szoboszlai, and Sallai.

Fouls Drawn

Varga - 2, 1

Szoboszai - 0, 2

Sallai - 2, 3

Hanley started just two games in qualifying and picked up a foul in both games. Both other Scotland central defenders are priced more appropriately to pick up a foul - Hendry (1/4) and McKenna (4/9).

Bet 3 - Willi Orban Over 0.5 Shots - 0.5 Points at Best price available at 6/4 with bet365

Orban has a shot in both Euro 2024 games so far. The Leipzig defender started just four games in qualifying, and had a shot in three, with shot figures of 1, 2, 0, 1.

He's shown his attacking threat against high class opposition. He managed three shots in six Nations League matches in a group consisting of England, Germany, and Italy. He also had one shot in two starts at club level in the Champions League.

Scotland have allowed shots to three of the five central defenders faced at the Euros so far - Rudiger, Tah, and Rodriguez.
