Germany VS Scotland - Prediction

The wait is over as the UEFA Euro 2024 starts tomorrow with the match between Germany and Scotland. Germany is the host of the Euro 2024 and is one of the favorites in this competition. Germany is placed in Group A with Scotland, Hungary, and Switzerland. While Germany is the clear favorite in this group, Scotland is determined to shock the host in their very first match. Since winning the World Cup in 2014, Germany have gone through a difficult period. Germany were eliminated from the group round in the following two successive World Cups (2018 and 2022). But they have A very strong squad this time and have the potential to win the Euro 2024. Players like Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz have already proved themself in top European leagues. They will be a massive threat for Scotland in the opening match. "We are very variable, can change teams and always cause problems for the opponent. It is important that we focus on playing well ourselves, then Scotland will be more worried about us than we are about them," said Jamal Musiala in the press.
