Germany have qualified for the final stages of the European Championships on 14 occasions, playing the final games on 6 occasions and winning the title thrice. The previous edition of the tournament wasn’t really successful for Germany, though. They were eliminated in the Round of 16. The side has played two friendly games this June: Ukraine (0:0) and Greece (2:1).
Julian Nagelsmann replaced Hans-Dieter Flick as head coach in 2023. This was Nagelsmann who convinced Toni Kroos to get back to the national side after a 3-year break. Euro 2024 will be the last tournament of this kind in his career.

Scotland confidently qualified for Euro 2024. They lost only 1 game out of 8 they played in the group stage. They directly advanced to the final stage of a big tournament for the first time since 1998. This is going to be the fourth participation in the tournament for the national side, second in a row. However, they have never been able to reach a knockout stage. Scotland has recently played two friendly games: Gibraltar (2:0) and Finland (2:2).

Germany vs Scotland Prediction
The Euro 2024 opening match will be the first official one for Julian Nagelsmann. The tournament Germany host is a perfect opportunity to demonstrate everything the side is capable of. No doubt Germany will do their best.
Besides, the national side has kind of awakened after Flick left. Germany have played 9 friendly games since that moment, scoring at least twice in 7 of them. Scotland are active too. They scored at least 2 goals in 7 out of their 8 Euro qualifying games.
Most likely the opponents keep on this way in this game too. Germany will play aggressively in front of their fans. Scotland wouldn’t like to be a victim. It’s going to be a double-edged game.
The prediction is Both teams to score at 2,20.
