On the 14th June 2024, Scotland will kick-off the first game of the Euros 2024 against host nation Germany, in what is likely to be a rampant start to the football competition. With the ‘Die Mannschaft’ team entering the tournament on the back of two successive wins against France and Netherlands this year, it seems like they are the clear favourites against ‘The Tartan Army’. Scotland have endured back-to-back defeats against Netherlands and Northern Ireland this year and had not won in 7 games since their victory against Cyprus back on the 8th September 2023. That was until 3rd June 2024 when their dry spell came to an end as they beat Gibraltar 2-0. Will this give them the confidence boost they need? For now, let’s take a look at the Germany vs Scotland odds to see what the bookies make of the game to come.
Sure enough, after tracking the BetVictor Euro 2024 betting odds, Scotland have shifted as outsiders from 12/1 to 10/1*, meaning a £10 bet would return £110, while Germany are clear favourites shifting from 2/9 to 1/4*, with the same £10 wager paying out just £12.50 if successful. For those hoping for a more ‘neutral’ final score, a draw is currently priced at 17/4*, where a £10 bet would pay out £26.25 if correct. While Scotland will certainly do their upmost to put on a good show and upset the hosts, the odds and the reality seem much more inclined to have Germany down as the winners by the time the final whistle goes.
With Coach Julian Nagelsmann able to call upon a huge list of superstars from Captain İlkay Gündoğan to Madrid’s Toni Kroos or Arsenal’s Kai Havertz, Germany will be keen to build upon their 2014 World Cup win and land their fourth Euro Championship, with their most recent coming as far back as 1996. At the opposite end of the spectrum, Scottish Coach Steve Clarke will be celebrating their second successive Euro’s qualification, after a gap of 24 years, and likely be looking to survive the Group stages for the first time in the country’s history. While Captain Andy Robertson might help lift the team’s spirits, several injuries to his Midfield and Defensive selections, will make a tall ask even taller, so in our BetVictor prediction for the match, we have Germany as comfortable winners with Clarke likely to look at fellow-group members Hungary and Switzerland as the easiest paths to victory for now.
