The two outsiders of his 1st group Euro they face off tonight at 22:00 (EPT1 & News Bulletin 247)with the Scotland to face her Hungary in Stuttgart.
Stephen Clarke’s side are third in the table after a 1-1 draw with Switzerland and can clinch bottom of the two if they beat the Magyars while the Swiss lose to the Germans.
A scenario that is not even… science fiction, with the negative for the Scots being that they have a bad goal difference (-4) so it is difficult to get a draw.
In any case, with four points they will be a very strong candidate for one of the best teams to finish in third place.
For the Hungarians, on the other hand, things are much more difficult. With no points and -4 goals, they will need a minor miracle to get into the top three – and that of course is provided they beat Scotland.
This will be the 10th time the two teams have met, with Hungary going 4-2-3 in friendly matches against the Scots so far.
In terms of competition, Clarke is without defenders Portius and Tierney, while Marco Rossi still doesn’t count out midfielders Nego and Styles.

Scotland (St. Clark): Gunn, Hendry, Hanley, McKenna, Ralston, McGregor, Gilmore, Robertson, McTominay, Adams, McGinn
