The wait for the 2024 Euro is over and the competition is set to kick off with a bang. Host Germany takes on Scotland in the opener and, unlike their earlier fixtures, it promises to be a bit more challenging. Julian Nagelsmann’s side remains the favorites at the Allianz Arena. But with what Scotland displayed during their qualifying campaign, winning 5 games in a row and acing Erling Haaland’s Norway to make it through, Die Mannschaft will not take them for granted.

However, how will the Scots approach the 3-time Champions after their captain’s recent concern during the training? Are Germans suffering any injuries? Let’s also explore where you can catch all the action of this highly anticipated matchup.

Germany vs Scotland: Key Info for Euro 2024 Clash

Injury and team news

Germany: Unfortunately, the 1996 Euro winners experienced a few surprising injuries last month. Firstly, the Bayern Munich forward Serge Gnabry who was expected to make the squad was left with a hamstring injury against Real Madrid in the Champions League, ruling him out of the Euro, as well. In addition, midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović also had to return after suffering recurrent tonsillitis. The player faced the same issue in March and is now replaced by Borussia Dortmund’s captain Emre Can. The rest of the team doesn’t have any problems. However, it will be interesting if Tony Kroos makes it into the eleven.

Scotland: The team from the United Kingdom received a scare, with their captain Andrew Robertson withdrawing from the training a couple of days ago. However, he is deemed fit by the coaching staff and ready to take the field. The Tartan Army will miss their striker Lyndon Dykes after he sustained an ankle ligament injury in training before the friendlies. Dykes needed a stretcher to be taken off the field, which suggests that the injury may be a serious one. The rest of the squad is ready to go.

Expected Lineups

Germany XI: Neuer; Kimmich, Rüdiger, Tah, Schlotterbeck; Andrich, Kroos, Gündoğan; Musiala, Wirtz; Havertz

Scotland XI: Gunn; Ralston, Porteous, Hendry, Tierney, Robertson; Armstrong, McTominay, McGregor, McGinn; Adams

Head-to-head and predictions

Both teams have locked horns 17 times in the past, with Germany winning the battle 8 times and Scotland winning it 4 times. In the meantime, the rest of the five games ended in a deadlock. And coming to the game, the hosts have a clear advantage with a deep and attacking squad. However, with their last major tournament clean sheet being in 2016, Scotland will look to take an advantage by scoring a couple.

Prediction: Germany 3-1 Scotland

Odds

Germany: 3/10

Draw: 11/2
