Germany vs Scotland: Betting preview
Germany:
The host nation kicks off its EURO 2024 Campaign with a very winnable game here. Germany will be reinforced with veteran Toni Kroos for one last rodeo, while Kai Havertz, Ilkay Gundogan, and a defense and goalie tandem leave them in good stead to make up for what has been a disappointing decade.
The Germans should relish the homefield advantage here too. With a chance to win a record 4th European Championship on home soil, the moment is perfect for a side that’s striding into form at just the right time.
Scotland:
The Scots are enjoying quite the resurgence at the moment. They were able to defeat Spain in the qualifying stage and have built a really solid core of players including the likes of Scott McTominay and John McGinn. Sprinkle in some Andy Robertson magic and the presence of Laurence Shankland (who I have an affinity for because he was once a gem on Football Manager) and this is a team soaring on a wave of confidence that will be looking to spring a surprise or two this Summer.
Betting pick
Germany has won 2 of its last 3 games against Scotland, and although those were some years ago, it’s hard to envision a different result here. With wins over France and the Netherlands in the run-up to this tournament, the squad is simply too powerful and playing too well to drop the ball at the first hurdle in front of a stadium filled with rampant home fans.
Betting pick: Germany -340
Prop bet fun
I like Leroy Sane to record an assist at +240. Sane notched 11 through his most recent Bundesliga campaign and this is his first major International tournament. Now nearing full health, this is the perfect launchpad for him to breakout on the big stage.
