The Hungary Euro 2024 squad started their tournament with two defeats.
A 3-1 loss to Switzerland in their first match highlighted the difficulties they might face at Euro 2024, and being beaten 2-0 by Germany in their second game in convincing fashion suggests that Hungary will struggle to reach the last 16, regardless of what happens against Scotland.
Indeed, it's impossible for Hungary to automatically progress to the knockouts, with Switzerland four points ahead of them in second place. A victory against Scotland could see them qualify as one of the best third-place teams, though their -4 goal difference will likely prove another problem in doing that, too.
It's definitely a disappointment for a side expected to perform well this summer and upset some of the big boys in their group. Liverpool attacker Dominik Szoboszlai is the youngest captain at the tournament but has struggled to make his mark on games, while Peter Gulacsi and Willi Orban have struggled to keep goals out of their net.
Plus, being one of the top 30 sides in the world, according to FIFA's much-maligned rankings, Hungary have definitely underperformed - but there's still a slight chance a convincing victory over Scotland sees them in the knockout stages.
Like with every Euro 2024 squad, FourFourTwo will be covering everything about Hungary as the tournament kicks off. From how to watch their games to each of their fixtures, and everything in between, we'll report on everything you need to know.

Hungary manager: Marco Rossi
After bouncing around Italy's third and fourth tiers, Marco Rossi almost quit coaching before a 2012 visit to a friend in Budapest led to him being appointed Honved boss. Now, he's a Hungary legend. Rossi dreams of emulating the Euro 2020 triumph of pal and ex-Sampdoria colleague Roberto Mancini with his modest troops, though that seems hugely unlikely after their first two matches.
Hungary's star player
Dominik Szoboszlai
Dominik Szoboszlal notched the 92nd-minute winner that guided Hungary to Euro 2020, but cruelly missed the tournament through injury. Approaching his maiden major finals after a stellar debut year at Liverpool, the 23-year-old midfielder is the first Hungarian superstar for quite some time, so fans' expectations are sky-high.
