With the likes of Portugal and Scotland signing off their respective EURO 24 qualifying campaign on Sunday night, we have a string of intriguing affairs.

Ahead of a stacked EURO 24 qualifying schedule, we have taken an in-depth look at some of the best betting markets that are available.

Sunday, November 19th

14:00 Hungary vs Montenegro

Producing a dramatic late comeback away against Bulgaria earlier in the week as they snatched a 2-2 draw, Hungary also clinched their major tournament return. Enjoying what has been a stunning EURO 24 qualifying adventure this year and booking their ticket to Germany with time to spare, the Tricolours simply have their sights set on wrapping up top spot in Group G.

Although Sunday’s hosts might have also signed off October’s international break with another thrilling 2-2 stalemate against Lithuania on foreign soil, Marco Rossi’s men are unbeaten in all of their seven qualifying appearances this year.

Likewise, in the midst of a history-making purple patch, Hungary are also unbeaten in all of their last 11 outings across all formats – a run that stems back to September 2022.

Gaining a fearsome reputation for their continued success on home soil and landing a 2-1 win against Serbia in their lost showdown at the Puskas Arena, Hungary will be looking to sign off their qualifying romp with a final Group G statement.

On the flip side, while Montenegro might still hold a mathematical chance of following Hungary out of Group G, Sunday’s guests know that nothing short of three points will be enough here.

Last seen marking their return to qualifying duties with a routine 2-0 victory against Lithuania, the Brave Falcons should take a string of positives from their qualifying adventure this year.

Suffering just a single defeat from any of their last five appearances across all competitions, Miodrag Radulovic’s side will be desperate to spring a famous upset here.

Unbeaten in each of their four historic showdowns against their Group G rivals, Montenegro will be confident of testing a leaky Hungary defence.

Hungary vs Montenegro Best Betting Markets:

  • Hungary win & Both teams to score @ 10/3 with 1xBet
  • Dominik Szoboszlai to have over 0.5 shots on target @ 8/11 with BetUS
  • Ilia Gruev to be shown a card @ 3/1 with Pribet

19:45 Scotland vs Norway

Mounting a stunning last-gasp comeback away at Georgia earlier in the week as they snatched a 2-2 stalemate, Scotland have continued to gain a string of plaudits during their qualifying adventure this year. Securing their spot at EURO 24 with time to spare, Steve Clarke’s side still know that they have a mathematical chance of leapfrogging Spain and clinching top spot in Group A.

Although the Tartan Army might open Sunday’s showdown at Hampden in the midst of a four-match winless run across all competitions, the former Kilmarnock boss will be excited to make a return to home soil here.

Including a stunning 2-0 victory when they welcomed La Roja to Glasgow back on March 28th, it should be highlighted that Scotland have won six of their previous seven showdowns in front of their own supporters.

Knowing that nothing short of three points will be enough on Sunday night if they are to dethrone Spain and make a major qualifying statement, Clarke’s side should face a tricky test at Hampden.

While Norway might have been hugely frustrated this year as they once again missed out on the chance to book a major tournament return, the Lions have certainly claimed a welcomed boost over the past few months.

Picking up some perfect momentum earlier in the week as they secured a routine 2-0 win against the Faroe Islands in a friendly matchup, Stale Solbakken’s side have won five of their last six appearances across all fronts.

However, while the record-breaking Erling Haaland will spearhead Norway’s charge on Sunday night, Solbakken’s squad will be concerned by their most recent meeting against the Tartan Army.

Suffering a shock 2-1 defeat when they welcomed Scotland to Oslo back on June 17th, the Lovene will simply be looking to upset the party atmosphere around Glasgow this weekend.

Scotland vs Norway Best Betting Markets:

  • Both teams to score @ 4/5 with Olympusbet
  • Scott McTominay to have over 0.5 shots on target @ 8/11 with Dachbet
  • Erling Haaland to score anytime @ 17/10 with Luckster

19:45 Portugal vs Iceland

While Portugal might have suffered World Cup frustration out in Qatar over the winter as they eventually had to settle for a quarter-final finish, the Navigators haven’t shown any signs of a hangover this year. Breezing their way to EURO 24 and not having to get out of third gear, the European giants have continued to shine since they appointed Roberto Martinez.

Riding what has been a stunning wave of momentum and really gaining a fearsome reputation for their clinical performances in the final third, the former Belgium boss should find the mood in his camp at a red-hot high.

Last seen marking their return to qualifying duties with a 2-0 win away against Liechtenstein in midweek, Sunday’s hosts will simply be looking to make another statement here.

In fact, along with winning each of their nine straight Group J appearances this year, Portugal have also notched 34 strikes on their remarkable qualifying romp.

Tipped as a genuine contender when they arrive out in Germany next year, Martinez’s side will certainly be smelling another golden chance this weekend.

On the flip side, while Iceland might have claimed a welcomed boost last month, Sunday’s guests came crashing back down to earth earlier in the week.

Eventually getting hit with an action-packed 4-2 loss away at Slovakia, Age Hareide’s squad couldn’t have wished for a tough challenge when signing off their Group J adventure here.

Including a routine 3-0 drumming when they travelled to Bosnia & Herzegovina back on March 23rd, it should be highlighted that Iceland have lost four of their previous five showdowns on foreign soil.

Likewise, recording just a single away victory within 90 minutes over the past 17 months, Hareide’s men are rightfully tipped as a landslide underdog in Lisbon.

Portugal vs Iceland Best Betting Markets:

  • Portugal to score in both halves @ 6/5 with Vegas Land
  • Portugal win to nil @ 7/10 with Olympusbet
  • Cristiano Ronaldo to score anytime @ 7/10 with BetUS
