This is how Hungary can qualify
There are several possible scenarios which would see Hungary reach the knockout stages of the 2024 European Championship in Germany.
Hungary Men defeated Scotland 1-0 in a tremendous battle yesterday in Stuttgart, victory in their third and final group A fixture meaning their three points might still be enough to eran Marco Rossi's squad a place in the Round of 16. In order to qualify, the following conditions must be met:
From the six groups, the group winners and runners-up automatically qualify for the last sixteen and will be joined by the four best third-placed teams. In order for Hungary to squeeze into the latter category, they must finish the group stage with a better record than at least two of the other participants to have ended up third in their groups. For example, Rossi's charges can remain in a better position than the third team in Group B if Spain don't lose to Albania and Italy earn at least one point against Croatia.
In this case, Albania and Croatia would finish with 2 points each, so they'd be below Hungary on points.
In Group C, the third-placed country would finish with fewer than three points if England beat Slovenia (in this case, any outcome in the Denmark-Serbia encounter is favourable to Hungary).
If Portugal don't lose to Georgia in Group F, and Czech Republic fail to beat Turkey, the third-placed team will also finish with fewer points than Hungary.
In Group E, each team has 3 points, but if Ukraine lose to Belgium by at least two goals and Romania beat Slovakia, Ukraine would be third and their goal difference would be -4, worse than Hungary's goal difference of -3.
If the results in two of these four groups go favourably, Hungary would qualify for the knockout stages of Euro 2024.
