Before going into the details, kindly refrain from illegal gambling & bet with care, with extreme care.
Tonight's opener features a seasoned major tournament favourite, 3 times Euro champion & 4 times WC champion who will be the host of Euro 2024, with players of jaw-dropping pedigree from the very best mix of clubs comprising 52-game unbeaten Leverkusen/ UCL semi-finalist Bayern Munich/ UCL finalist Dortmund/ treble winner from ex-Man City/ 2 players from UCL La Liga champion RM.
My gut feel is Germany will ''want to'' go all out to win big as they clearly know the importance of goal difference after being knocked out of Qatar WC Group Stage by Spain on GD. They will definitely not allow themselves similar mistakes against weaker opponents again, especially when the next 2 opponents ie Hungary/ Suisse are teams that they fail to defeat for 3 consecutive games in a row. Hence, 1 goal margin is not the answer tonight, making historical H2H stats between these two nations irrelevant. Realistically, I see a repeat of 1992 Euro scoreline.
Looking at Scotland, recent scorelines against Europe's major powerhouse France (A)/ Holland (A)/ Spain (A)/ England (home) clearly shows one thing in common, ie a 2 goal or more margin favoring the stronger team.
Prediction:
Germany 2-0 Scotland, Kai Havertz/ Gundogan to score.
