Scotland to Face Germany in EURO 2024 Opener
Germany to Host Scotland in Opening Match of Home Tournament
Germany will kick off its UEFA EURO 2024 campaign at home to Scotland on Friday, June 14th, at the Allianz Arena in Munich. The match will be the first of three Group A matches for Germany, who are also scheduled to face France and Hungary.
Scotland Hopeful for Stunner Against Hosts
Scotland, who qualified for the tournament through the Nations League playoffs, will be hoping to make a statement in their opening match against Germany. The Scots have never beaten Germany in a competitive match, but they will be confident of causing an upset given their recent form.
Scotland has won four of their last five matches, including a victory over Ukraine in the Nations League semi-final. Steve Clarke's side also played well in their two friendlies against Poland and the Czech Republic, so they will be full of belief heading into their match against Germany.
Germany Looking to Make Strong Start
Germany, on the other hand, will be keen to make a strong start to their home tournament. The Germans are one of the favorites to win the trophy, and they will be looking to lay down a marker in their opening match against Scotland.
Germany has a strong squad on paper, with the likes of Manuel Neuer, Antonio Rudiger, Joshua Kimmich, and Leroy Sane all in the team. However, they will need to be wary of complacency against Scotland, who will be motivated to cause an upset.
Match Odds and Predictions
Germany is the clear favorite to win the match, but Scotland could provide a stern test. The Scots are a well-organized team and will be difficult to break down. However, Germany's quality should eventually tell, and they are expected to win the match by a comfortable margin.
Here are the match odds from bet365:
- Germany to win: 1/4
- Draw: 15/2
- Scotland to win: 12/1
Our prediction: Germany to win 2-0
