Germany vs Scotland Prediction
Over the past decade, Germany has not been quite at the mark with their performances as despite winning the 2014 World Cup and reaching The Euro 2016 semi-finals, they have been eliminated quite early in the last three major tournaments they have played.
Julian Nagelsmann’s squad aims to reclaim their former glory while the Scottish have historically struggled in major leagues and tournaments, never able to advance beyond the group stage and only reaching the Euro finals once since their appearances in 1992 and 1996.
It would be compelling to see Scotland emerge as a dark horse and start the tournament with a victory over Germany today.
- ✅ More than 2 goals – Germany to score first
- ✅ Jamal Musiala to score for Germany
- ✅ Andy Robertson to score for Scotland
- ✅ Yellow cards – under 2.5
- ✅ Germany to win the match
Germany vs Scotland Previews
Germany Team Preview
Germany are three times winner of the European championship. Julian Nagelsmann will likely display a formation of 4-3-2-1 , keeping it tight and attacking. Emre Can, the midfielder from Borussia Dortmund has replaced Alexander Pavlovich as he has suffered from tonsillitis.
- The German team are on an unbeaten streak of four matches in 2024 with just one draw against Ukraine.
- Deniz Undav featured in 30 Bundesliga matches for VfB Stuttgart this past season, concluding with an impressive tally of 18 goals and 10 assists.
Scotland Team Preview
In the last nine international fixtures that Scotland has played, they have managed to find a win just once, against Gilbrartar.
The Scottish managed to finish in the second place in the Euro qualifiers standings but with just a singular win over Germany in their last thirteen outings, it will be rather difficult for them to get a win this Saturday.
- Multiple injuries in the camp has definitely hindered with Clarke’s preparation of the squad for the Euros.
- A comfortable win over Gilbrartar with 2-0 and a favorable draw against Finlad by 2-2 have managed to get them to qualify but they will have to up their game against Germany to start the tournament on a good note.
GER vs SCO Team News
It appears certain that Kai Havertz, Jamal Musiala, and Florian Wirtz will compose Germany’s front three at the Allianz Arena. Barcelona playmaker Ilkay Gundogan is also expected to adopt an advanced role, supported by Toni Kroos and Robert Andrich handling the defensive duties behind him.
Steve Clarke is expected to deploy Scotland in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with attacking midfielder Scott McTominay frequently dropping back to the midfield, effectively forming a strong midfield of five when necessary.
