Team News

Germany
Scotland
  • Germany have a full strength squad to select from ahead of their first competitive game since the 2022 World Cup.
  • Manuel Neuer is expected to line up between the sticks for the tournament hosts, while Jonathan Tah will likely get to the nod to partner Antonio Rudiger at the heart of the defence.
  • Captain Ilkay Gundogan should start in support of Kai Havertz, with the Barcelona star flanked by young pair Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz.
  • Scotland were given a scare on Monday as both Andy Robertson and Lawrence Shankland pulled out of training.
  • The former, Scotland's captain no less, will start if fit.
  • Expect Southampton striker Che Adams to lead the charge for the Tartan Army.

Prediction

  • Germany and Scotland get Euro 2024 underway on Friday and both nations should feel confident about going far in the tournament.
  • For Germany, there is renewed belief under the watchful eye of Julian Nagelsmann, who earlier this year extended his contract beyond Euro 2024.
  • Scotland will hope to have Andy Robertson available for selection this week, with the Liverpool star a key man under Steve Clarke.
  • The tournament hosts should get their Euros campaign underway with a win, though Scotland won't make things easy for Germany.
