Germany take on Scotland tonight as Euro 2024 gets underway. The host nation are hoping a lack of competitive action since their 2022 World Cup exit won't impact their chances of silverware on home turf.
Scotland are out to spoil the party at the Allianz Arena tonight and they endured a minor scare this week when both Andy Robertson and Lawrence Shankland pulled up with respective injuries.
Fortunately for the Tartan Army, both are expected to be available against the Euro 2024 hosts, which is a huge boost for Steve Clarke's side. However, whether that will be enough to defeat this Germany side is another matter entirely.
Now under the stewardship of Julian Nagelsmann, confidence is high among the fanbase as they seek a fourth European Championship, and a first since Euro 1996. With Toni Kroos retiring upon the culmination of Euro 2024, the Real Madrid midfielder is looking to end a glittering career on a high having already secured both La Liga and Champions League glory with Los Blancos last season.
Either way, the tournament hosts are favourites to claim all the spoils in their tournament opener against Scotland this evening. Clarke's side may have upset the odds to beat Spain in qualifying but even with a party atmosphere in Munich for the first game of the Euros; it's Die Mannschaft who are favourites to get the job done.
