Euro 2024 permutations & third place table: Who needs what to reach last 16
Scotland have a difficult task if they want to automatically advance as runners-up. Steve Clark’s side need to beat Hungary, rely on Switzerland losing to Germany, and hope a six-goal swing falls in their favour.
But, Scotland will likely advance with a win as one of the best third-placed teams – regardless of Switzerland’s result.
No side has failed to reach the knockout stages in a 24-team Euros after gaining four points.
If Scotland lose their final group match to Hungary on Sunday, they will finish fourth and be eliminated.
Germany became the first team to reach the knockouts by beating Hungary 2-0 on Wednesday and will top the group if they avoid defeat against Switzerland in their final game.
Matches remaining
Switzerland v Germany (Sunday, 20:00 BST)
Scotland v Hungary (Sunday, 20:00 BST)
