Scotland faces Germany in the Euro 2024 opener, eager to impress following a strong qualification performance.
Participating in their first major overseas tournament since 1998, and having finished bottom of Group D at Euro 2020 despite playing two matches at Hampden Park, the Tartan Army is ready to support their team. Scotland hopes to navigate a challenging group that includes Switzerland and Hungary.
Germany’s High Expectations Against Scotland
For Germany, finishing top of their group is the minimum expectation, bearing the nation’s weight on their shoulders. However, they will be cautious in the opening game, with Julian Nagelsmann admitting his side was “a bit nervous” to face Scotland.
History does not favor Steve Clarke’s side. In the seven previous meetings since 1992, Scotland has only managed one draw, with Germany winning all the other matches.
