    Wales forward Daniel James is as fast as France striker Kylian Mbappe, says Hungary manager Marco Rossi.

    Rossi highlighted the threat Manchester United's James will pose in Cardiff.

    "James is a player that is playing with a motor bicycle because he is really fast," said Rossi.

    "I have never seen someone in the last period as fast as him, maybe Mbappe. He's unbelievable."

    Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill has urged his players to try and enjoy their final Euro 2020 qualifier away to Germany.

    The game in Frankfurt is a dead rubber with Germany and the Netherlands having already qualified from Group C, and NI assured of a play-off place in March.

    "It's as hard a game as you can get," O'Neill told BBC Sport NI.

    "But it's important to get a good performance and it will be a great experience for the players."

    Hungary XI: Gulacsi; Lovrencsics, Barath, Lang, Z Nagy; A. Nagy, Patkai; Dzsudzsak, Szoboszlai, Sallai; Szalai.

    Scotland go into their last match before the Euro 2020 play-off semi-final looking for a morale-boosting third successive victory.

    Steve Clarke's side will finish third in Group I if they avoid defeat at home against Kazakhstan.

    Hampden will host the play-off semi-final on 26 March, with Friday's Uefa draw determining the opponents and whether or not Scotland are home or away in the final, should they progress.

    What a time for Aaron Ramsey to make his first start of the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign, as Wales manager Ryan Giggs makes two changes from Saturday’s 2-0 win in Azerbaijan.

    Having made his first appearance of the campaign from the bench in Baku, Juventus midfielder Ramsey starts in place of Harry Wilson.

    The other change sees fellow midfielder Joe Allen return from suspension, replacing Ethan Ampadu. That’s big show of faith from Giggs in midfielder Joe Morrell, the Lincoln City loanee winning only his fifth cap tonight.

    Wales XI: Hennessey; Roberts, Mepham, Lockyer, Davies; Morrell, Allen; Bale, Ramsey, James; Moore.

    Wales v Hungary (19:45 GMT)

    When they lost in Hungary in June, Ryan Giggs' side were left with only three points from their first three matches.

    But they are unbeaten since then and victory this evening will secure automatic qualification for Euro 2020.

    The turnaround has been as impressive as the start was underwhelming.

    And given how quickly Wales' situation has changed, you could be forgiven for forgetting just how significant an occasion tonight will be.

    For the younger players in the squad, and the fans of a similar age, it is expected that Wales at least come close to qualifying for major tournaments.

    After all, they reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016 and only missed out on a play-off for the 2018 World Cup after losing their last qualifier.
