Scotland vs Hungary

Grant Heaney has three player tips for Scotland vs Hungary, including two bets on John McGinn. 

John McGinn to Commit 2+ Fouls @ 10/11 Sky Bet

John McGinn is not one to shy away from a challenge and his role will be extremely important in Scotland’s bid to break new ground by reaching the knockout stage of Euro 2024.

The all-action midfielder committed two fouls and picked up a yellow card during Scotland’s 1-1 draw with Switzerland on Wednesday.

What’s more, no Scottish player averaged more fouls per 90 minutes than McGinn during Euro 2024 qualifying, with the Aston Villa captain giving away an average of 1.62 free kicks per game.

Therefore, backing McGinn to get on the wrong side of the referee twice or more in a game of this magnitude holds plenty of appeal at 10/11 on Sky Bet. The same selection is as short as 13/20 with another bookmaker.

John McGinn 1+ Shot on Target  @ 1/1 QuinnBet

The aforementioned John McGinn also merits strong consideration to register a shot on target on Sunday night at even-money on QuinnBet.

Only Scott McTominay (7) scored more goals than John McGinn (3) during Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, with the latter averaging 1.50 shots per-game in the process.

McGinn is known for liking to try his luck from range and being deployed in an advanced midfield role also sees him make late bursts into the box.

Given that McGinn has become Scotland’s man for the big occasion in recent years, backing him to hit the target just once against Hungary stands out at evens on QuinnBet.

Barnabas Varga to be fouled 2+ times @ 10/11 Betfair

Barnabas Varga has been Hungary's biggest scoring threat at Euro 2024 and he should prove a real handful for the Scotland defence on Sunday night.

The Ferencvaros forward will be drawn into a real physical battle and is likely to find himself on the receiving end of some rough treatment from his Scottish markers. 

The Hungary hitman was fouled twice against Germany last time out and I’m happy to support a repeat at 10/11 on Betfair considering the circumstances.
