Germany is set to kick off their EURO 2024 campaign, hoping to build on their recent 2-1 victory over Greece. With aspirations of claiming their first European Championship title since 1996, the German team is expected to come out strong in their opening match against Steve Clarke’s Scotland. Notable absentees from the squad include Serge Gnabry, Mats Hummels, Karim Adeyemi, and Timo Werner, while Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane is anticipated to start after making a substitute appearance in the win over Greece.
Scotland, meanwhile, is coming off a 2-2 draw with Finland in their last warm-up match. Key players for Steve Clarke’s side include John McGinn, Andy Robertson, and Scott McTominay, with the Manchester United midfielder expected to return to the starting lineup. Despite Scotland’s talent, the prediction leans towards the tournament hosts, Germany, who are expected to perform well in the 2024 European Championship finals.
Prediction: Germany 3-1 Scotland
