Germany opens the 2024 European Championship in a clash against Scotland. betting tip, 14.06.2024
Will Germany have a successful start to the European Championship at home?
The German national team opens the home European Championship with a clash against Scotland. In a group with Switzerland and Hungary, the first game will be hugely important. Three points would put them top of the table right from the start. The question of quality probably doesn't need to be asked here, as the Germans have a much better squad quality than the Scots. In addition, the Scots have not had a successful year so far and won their last match in September 2023. Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to underestimate Scotland, as they also have Premier League experience in their squad. They will therefore make life as difficult as possible for the Germans.

The pressure is clearly on the Germans
Things get serious for Germany on June 14 at 9:00 p.m., when they open their European Championship campaign at home against Scotland. Coach Julian Nagelsmann and his team will go into the game with a broad chest, as they seem to have rediscovered their form in good time. They beat France and the Netherlands in March. These were two important victories after previously losing to both Austria and Turkey. One reason for the strong performances was certainly the return of Toni Kroos. The newly crowned Champions League winner will also be a starter against Scotland. A successful start will be hugely important to get the crowd behind them. But it is also clear that the pressure is on the Germans.
Julian Nagelsmann seems to have found his team and will probably line up in a similar way to the matches against France and the Netherlands. With Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz, they have two of the best U21 players in the world in attack. In defense, Antonio Rüdiger and Jonathan Tah will keep a clean sheet. Alongside Toni Kroos, Robert Andrich will probably keep things tidy. It would be important for Germany to keep a clean sheet, as they have only managed to do so once under Nagelsmann and that was against an unmotivated France. In their remaining five games, however, they have had to clear the ball out of their own net nine times. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has also not looked the most assured at Bayern Munich of late. After being knocked out of Euro 2021 in the round of 16, they will naturally want to progress again this time. Between 2008 and 2016, they reached at least the semi-finals 3 times in a row.

Scotland has made it to another European Championship
Scotland are back in the competition after 2021 and have set themselves the goal of reaching the round of 16 this time. So far, they have never achieved this goal, as they have had to bow out after the preliminary round in all three of their appearances at the European Championships. This year too, they are probably the biggest outsiders in Group A behind Switzerland and Hungary. This is not least due to the poor form they have shown in recent months. Scotland have recently failed to win 7 games in a row. Their defeats included defeats against Northern Ireland and the Netherlands Even against a clearly inferior Georgia, they only managed a 3-3 draw. They will therefore have to improve significantly to stand a chance against Germany in their opener.
With a squad market value of just under €212 million, quality is certainly there. Some players are very successful in the Premier League. These include captain Andrew Robertson, Scott McTominay and John McGinn. Scotland is also a very experienced team and has an average age of 28.6 years. In the last two test matches in March 2024, they failed to score a goal. They also conceded 4 goals in the clash against the Netherlands. In general, the defense is not exactly solid. They have conceded 19 goals in their last 7 games, which is almost 3.00 goals per game. Their last game without conceding a goal was in September 2024 when they won 3-0 away to Cyprus. It was one of a total of 26 wins under coach Steve Clarke. With an average of 1.66 points per game, the tenure can certainly be rated a success.

Germany has a strong record against Scotland
The Germans have won all of their last 3 games against Scotland, but it has been very close, as they have won all 3 games by just one goal. Scotland also scored in each of these games. Their last victory against Germany was in 1999, when they won a friendly match 0:1. It is noticeable that this duel usually ends with only a few goals. 4 of the last 7 duels have ended with less than 2.5 goals. Only once have more than 3.5 goals been scored in this period. By the way, Thomas Müller is the record goalscorer with 4 goals. A goal bet for your single betting slip could therefore be worthwhile.

Germany will celebrate a successful start
Germany are under pressure, but will still win their opening game. The difference in quality is simply too great. The form in recent months also speaks in favor of the Germans. A simple tip 1 with odds of 1.27 is suitable for a combined bet. If you want to make a slightly riskier betting recommendation, you can also bet on a zero win for the Germans.
