What do you need to know?

Scotland remain in the hunt for a place in the last 16 after a morale-boosting draw with Switzerland in Cologne. Captain Andy Robertson described Wednesday's display – which came off the back of their opening-day defeat to Germany in Munich – as "much more like us", but Steve Clarke's side will need to produce a similarly gutsy showing to stand any chance of beating Hungary and joining the tournament hosts in the knockout stage.

Hungary, like their opponents, must win to keep alive their hopes of progression. Marco Rossi's men, overcome by Switzerland in their Group A opener, were much improved against Germany in Stuttgart but were unable to register their first point of these finals, despite creating several opportunities to take the lead with the game still goalless. If they can make the most of the chances that come their way against Scotland, they might just end the group campaign with a priceless victory.

Scotland: Gunn; Hendry, Hanley, McKenna; Ralston, McGregor, Gilmour, Robertson; McTominay, Adams, McGinn

Expert predictions

Alex O'Henley, Scotland reporter

It's a must-win game for Scotland if they are to achieve their ambition of qualifying for the knockout stage of a major finals for the first time. The point against Switzerland has lifted the spirits around the camp following the opening defeat by Germany, and despite the loss of Kieran Tierney to injury this squad firmly believe they can make history on Sunday by taking all three points against Hungary in Stuttgart. A place in the history books beckons for this team.

Andy Clark, Hungary reporter

After finishing qualifying unbeaten, confidence was high in the Hungarian camp heading into EURO 2024. Rossi's men were left with much soul searching to do after a chastening experience in Cologne against Switzerland, but they were much improved against Germany on Wednesday and worried the hosts on numerous occasions. They'll be confident of doing likewise against Scotland but need to be ruthless in front of goal, with a knockout place still up for grabs.

What the coaches say

Steve Clarke, Scotland coach: "We thought it might come down to getting something out of the last game of the group. We've been in this situation before [at EURO 2020], so we hope we've learned something. [Hungary] are a good team, organised, and they have a good coach. They're a good team without the ball and with the ball: they've got quality players. We're expecting a difficult game, and I'm sure they're expecting a difficult game too."

Marco Rossi, Hungary coach: "Given the results we've got so far, with no points from two matches, there's no alternative for us other than to win if we want to progress. We know this is a decisive game for both of us. Both us and Scotland are under the same pressure. Scotland are dangerous because of their attitude, but also because they have quality players like McGinn, Gilmour and especially McTominay."
