With just a single point between both sides at Euro 2024 so far, it is do or die as Scotland face Hungary in their final game in Group A.
A win for either side is likely to be enough to see them reach the knockout stages, as one of the four best third-placed teams, but a draw would guarantee that both teams head home early.
After a barren run of form before the tournament, Scotland's campaign started with a 5-1 battering at the hands of the hosts, Germany, but a 1-1 draw against Switzerland has restored faith among the Tartan Army.
Hungary entered the tournament in a much better vein of form, but back-to-back defeats against Switzerland and Germany plunged Marco Rossi's team into chaos, despite being tipped as dark horses by many just weeks ago.
With the stakes so high, we look to have a fascinating contest in store, and it is impossible to tell how things will unfold.

Team news
Scotland
Steve Clarke will continue to be without Ryan Porteous, who was handed a two-game suspension after his straight red card for a challenge on Ilkay Gundogan in their opening game.
The Scots will also be without Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney, who suffered a serious hamstring injury against Switzerland and has since been ruled out of the tournament entirely.
In another blow, midfielder Ryan Jack has reportedly been ill in recent days, and is a doubt for the game against Hungary.
Some have speculated that Lawrence Shankland could start up front but, given that Che Adams has started both previous games for Scotland, a final, must-win, group game feels an odd time to make such a notable change - despite their obvious lack of goals.
Hungary
Rossi will be relieved to be able to call upon his full squad on Sunday, with no reported injury concerns for the Magyars heading into the crucial game.

Key players
Scotland - Scott McTominay
As well as being Scotland's only goal-scorer so far at Euro 2024 (barring an Antonio Rudiger own goal), Scott McTominay's all-round play has once again reminded the world of his talent.
The Manchester United midfielder has played every minute so far for Scotland, and has offered defensive solidity in the middle of the park, as well as showing the ability to push forward when needed.
In what will no doubt be a cagey game, where conceding could prove fatal, the importance of McTominay's role on Sunday cannot be understated.
The 27-year-old must be wary, however, as, after being booked against Switzerland, he is just one yellow card away from an automatic one-game ban.
Hungary - Dominik Szoboszlai
While the Magyars boast a host of talent in their squad, it is difficult to look past their captain, and the youngest captain in European Championship history, Dominik Szoboszlai.
The Liverpool star is a hero in his homeland, but has so far struggled to meet expectations at Euro 2024, but his talent remains unquestionable.
Despite his struggles at times, he assisted Hungary's only goal in their 3-1 loss against Switzerland, and has shown glimpses of the creative outlet that the world knows he can be.
Hungary will need their captain to be on top form if they are to get a result against Scotland but, like McTominay, Szoboszlai must be careful after being booked against Germany.
