Early thoughts
Our man at the game, Alan Pattullo gives his early thoughts on the clash.
Scotland finding it hard to penetrate the low block from Hungary but have had plenty of possession. Gunn had his palms stung after Bolla's shot. Clarke will want to see slightly more attacking threat from his side.
Yellow card for Hungary.
Sunderland midfielder Callum Styles is in the book for a foul on John McGinn.
In the other Group A game...
Germany are dominating against Switzerland. It’s still 0-0 but the host nation have enjoyed 78% possession and already had three attempts at goal.
Switzerland? 0 attempts.
A positive start...
Angus Gunn has been tested already, but Scotland are enjoying the bulk of possession. They’ve had 82% possession already,
A positive first 10 minutes I’d say.
BBC pundits discuss Scotland's chances...
Former West Ham United boss has been full of praise for Scotland head coach Steve Clarke ahead of the game.
“Steve’s done a great job in getting Kieran Tierney and Andy Robertson in the same team,” he said.
“That was a big problem Scotland had. Two world class left backs - how do you play both of them? For the main it has worked really. Tonight (with Tierney injured) he has stuck with the same system that has been working well over the last few seasons.”
Former England forward said Clarke will need to “use all that experience, all of that support from the fans that have travelled”.
Scotland Women captain added: “Maybe similar to the Switzerland game, the systems are similar. As a player, that matches you up with somebody and it is pretty clear what your job is.”
"Not every game you have thousands of Scotland supporters outside your hotel!" - John McGinn's pre-match comments
Super John chatted to BBC ahead of the game, and had this to say:
“We’ve been trying to prepare the same way we do for every game. There’s not every game you have thousands of Scotland supporters outside your hotel. My afternoon nap was cancelled and we had the Scotland songbook in our ears.
“The boys are calm and ready to go.”
He looks ready for it. Let’s get this over the line big man!
