Germany vs Scotland Prediction, Betting Tips & Preview – Euro 2024

This encounter marks the first match of Euro 2024, which we’ve all been eagerly waiting for. Germany, with the support of the home crowd, are a complete powerhouse in this competition and will want to mark their territory against underdogs Scotland. Germany are entering this tournament on the back of impressive victories over France (2-0) and Netherlands (2-1), showing their readiness under coach Julian Nagelsmann. Scotland, on the other hand, seem to be struggling to find any flair. Without a win in 7 games and the absence of Liverpool’s left back, this first encounter looks unsettling for the Scots. 

Germany vs Scotland Betting Tips

Despite Germany’s early inconsistencies in the qualifiers, they finished in strong form and with the advantage of playing on home turf, backing Germany to win would be a wise decision. With players like Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, and Kai Havertz, Germany should easily be able to control the game and create scoring opportunities against Scotland’s weak defence. Germany also posses strong defensive capabilities, which Scotland will struggle to penetrate, so betting on Germany to win and keep a clean sheet will offer even higher odds. 

Germany vs Scotland Match Prediction

With the tactical improvements under coach Julian Nagelsmann, as well as recent performances and high calibre players, Germany are the clear favourites to win this match. Adding the fact they have the home advantage and considering Scotland’s poor performances, we expect Germany will control possession and showcase their attacking strengths. Expect Germany to utilise the speed of their wingers and Kai Havertz upfront. On the defensive side, Germany’s solid backline consisting of experienced defenders such as Antonio Rudiger, should be able to comfortably handle Scotland’s minimal attacking threats.

Germany vs Scotland Correct Score Tips & Prediction

We’re likely see the same 4-2-3-1 formation that Nagelsmann used successfully against the French and Dutch. With this in mind, we predict that Germany are going to capitalise on Scotlands defensive weaknesses, utilising key players to control the game and put them under continuous pressure. While the Scot’s will try to keep Germany’s attackers at bay, Germany should have no trouble overpowering their defensive efforts, most likely gaining an early lead. Our correct score tip is 3-0 to Germany. 

Germany vs Scotland Over & Under Betting Tips

Germany’s offensive capabilities and Scotland’s defensive vulnerabilities make for a one-sided domination, offering plenty of scoring opportunities for Germany. Recent performances suggest Germany could replicate a similar scenario to when Scotland lost 4-0 against the Netherlands, especially given that Germany beat the Netherlands 2-1, so they should have no trouble putting the ball in the back of the net against Scotland. Our prediction is over 2.5 goals for this match. 

Overall, with their superior squad and home advantage, Germany is destined for an easy win against Scotland in the opening match of Euro 2024.
