Germany vs Scotland Prediction

Germany national football team will be hoping to make a deep run into the tournament, as they have struggled for wins last year. They will enter this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Greece and are blessed with a mix of experienced and young players in every position. Being the host nation, Germany did not participate in the qualification process.

Scotland national football team, meanwhile, won’t pose a big threat to Julian Nagelsmann’s side in this away friendly. They will aim to start quickly and secure a lead against the host nation. The Tartan Army had a strong qualification campaign and would be aiming to make their first appearance in the knockout stages of a major international tournament.
