England - Scotland

The Germans are, in my opinion, the clear favorite for the meeting, possibly the strongest team in recent years, focused on attack and playing at home and so on, but the main motive is that the Scots seem to be very weak. The Scots have a period of high-level football players, but the vast majority are average. The Scots are not known for their good defense and the Germans, I believe, will take advantage of this and not only win, but also score several goals, and should dominate from the start.

I believe that the Germans are the clear favorites for the meeting, as they have the strongest team in recent years, focused on attack and playing at home, and so on. But the main reason is that the Scots seem to be in poor form. The Scots have a few top-level football players, but the majority are just average. The Scots are not known for having a good defense, and the Germans should take advantage of that and not just win, but also cover the goal spread and dominate from the first period.

There is an interesting duel ahead. The Scottish team currently has quite decent players and is showing a fairly good level. They can definitely compete with the Germans and score goals boldly. There are many players playing at a high level, and anyone who is interested in football knows that. So the opening match of the championship, where the Germans may not understand what hit them if they lose, although it is completely possible here. The German team has not been very inspiring for their fans lately. I believe the Germans will dominate the field from the first minutes, but the Scots will be supported by their numerous fans and they can dangerously counterattack. So I think both teams will score confidently here. The bookmakers are offering high odds, so let's take advantage of that and support Scotland. Good luck with the match!

The first match will be the toughest for the Scots, so a positive score here would increase their hopes of moving forward. The Scots will play a tough game here and defend themselves stubbornly, while also looking for opportunities to counter-attack or from set pieces. The Scots play in an organized fashion and can cause trouble for the host team, so I believe that the first game here will start off as an intelligence gathering mission. The pressure is high for the Germans, so I also don't think they will rush and I hope that the action will start in the second period.

Opening match. Germany will play at home, with a new coach making his official debut. Germany has not been performing well in recent major tournaments, so playing at home should give them the opportunity to take the initiative from the very beginning and go on the offensive. In the qualifiers, Scotland showed decent results with only one loss, so they should not be underestimated as a team that will just let themselves be beaten from the start. I believe Scotland will also have some chances to create their own opportunities and should be able to raise their game in certain periods.

The European Championship begins with one of the most exciting and serious tournaments in football history, starting with Germany, one of the top teams in Europe, whose players in all positions, both in offense, midfield, and defense, are very talented. In this game, the Germans should focus not only because Scotland is a weaker team, but also because the EUROs are being held in Germany, so they will want to show off and not disappoint their fans in their own country. In the friendly matches, it was shown that the Germans are truly prepared to play.

Germany is definitely not the favorite that bookmakers are depicting it to be today. There will be pressure and opening matches are historically never easy. The Scots will demonstrate typical British football, will close their defense, play physically, and try to show something similar to a bus with counterattacks. To me, this signals a difficult and low-scoring match. In this case, the Germans will have to constantly apply pressure and push forward, especially if they fail to score a quick goal. All of this leads to a high number of corners, which I will try to bet on. In their last friendlies, the Germans had quite a few corners (13 against Greece, 11 against Ukraine, 6 against the Netherlands).

Even though it may seem that the Scots can score a goal, but in my eyes they will falter in the first half. In their home arena, in front of their fans, the Germans should definitely start with high energy and that energy most likely won't end until goals are scored. With a lot of experience and speed up front, in my eyes the Germans have everything they need to have a goal advantage after the first period against the Scots.

Even though it seems like the Scots can score goals, in my eyes they will fall behind in the first half. In front of their own fans, the Germans should start with a lot of energy and that energy won't stop until they score goals. With a lot of experience and speed up front, in my opinion the Germans have everything to score goals in the first period against the Scots.

As it was announced in the news, only the captain will be able to communicate with the referees, and other players will be warned with a card. The Scots are considered outsiders in this group, but it doesn't mean they will give up without a fight. They looked very confident in the qualifying round and they should put up a good fight here. The Germans are playing at home, so the whole country has high expectations from them, which puts pressure on the players. If they don't score early, it's likely that the team will start to get nervous. The referee, Frenchman C. Turpin, on average shows three yellow cards per match. He is fair and has principles, so the home team should not feel any extra pressure.

Opening match. Germany is playing at home, with a new coach who will make his debut in official matches. Germany hasn't been performing well in major tournaments lately, so playing at home they should take the initiative from the first minutes and go on the attack. Scotland did reasonably well in the qualifying rounds, with only one loss, so they shouldn't be a team that will allow themselves to be pushed around from the first minutes. Referee Klemen Tiurpen averages 21 fouls per game, and due to the nature of opening matches, which are often not very pretty, there should be fouls from both teams.

The Germans will be excited and will run ahead, dominating in everything that could turn into many corners, which they do not shy away from, as they have skilled players. They were the ones who made this total happen in a friendly manner. The Scots pay a lot of attention to standards, so especially in corners they will strive for them. They have great shores, so they should also move forward in some way.

Opening Game. Germany playing at home, new coach making his debut in official matches. Germany hasn't been performing well in major tournaments lately, so playing at home they should take initiative and start attacking from the first minutes. Scotland did well in the qualifiers, experiencing only one loss, so they shouldn't be a team that allows themselves to be pushed around from the beginning. The referee Klemen Tiurpen averages 3.6 yellow cards per match, and since this is the opening game, there will be additional tension. Plus, it will be interesting to see how the new rule, where only the captain can talk to the referee, will work, as any other player who talks to the referee will receive a yellow card.

I will have a personal portfolio of options, because the opponent is too underestimated here. Yes, the squad of Germany is threatening and one of the favorites to win this European championship, but I have a slightly different opinion on the favorites tag. As for the start, I think there will be some problems for the Germans in the first matches, despite having a lot of experience, but their preparation cycle was not very impressive from what I have seen and there seems to be a lack of quality overall. The nerves before the start should definitely exist, so I believe only a minimal handicap win for the Scots, therefore over 2.5, both teams to score and a plus for Scotland seem very attractive. Looking at the Scots, they can offer rough football, of course, a lot depends on the allowed contact by the referees, but the Scots play differently and that can bear fruit in the fight for points. They have more notable players and decent players from mid-table Premier League teams, and that should be enough to set the right tone, so the favoritism tag is slightly undervaluing the Scots.

I will personally have a list of options, since the opponent is being underestimated too much here. Yes, the squad is threatening for Germany and they are one of the favorites to win this European Championship, but I have a slightly different opinion on the favorites label. As for the start, I think there will be some problems for the Germans in the first matches, despite their experience. The preparation cycle was not as impressive as we have seen before and there is still a lack of quality among the team. The starting nerves should definitely exist, so I believe only a minimal handicap win for the Scots is possible, making over 2.5, both teams to score and a plus on the Scots very appealing options. Speaking of Scotland, they can offer a rough style of play, of course, a lot depends on the contact allowed by the referees, but Scots don't play any other way and it could bear fruit in the fight for points. The team has more prominent players and decent mid-table Premier League performers, which should be enough to set the right tone. Therefore, I think the favorites label is underestimating the Scots.

Would be friendly, would be clear goals over, now the Euro championship and also the opening match, so nerves can take over and as history shows - anything can happen. That's why I will take a more reserved approach, because when teams with such different styles meet, but not such a huge disparity in strength, Ghana will obviously be controlled by the Germans with their fast wingers, passes to Havertz, or later particularly to Fullkrug, aggressive forward play, the Scots can definitely catch them on the counter, but at the same time they will definitely not give up the match completely, they will try to attack, but they prefer to play face-to-face against top teams, I think they will try to give a lot of passes forward to one striker, which can also lead to counterattacks.
