Germany v Scotland Euro 2024 Betting Tips 14/06/24

Euro 2024 kicks off as hosts Germany welcome Scotland to the Allianz Arena on Friday, so here’s our FREE Germany v Scotland Euro 2024 Betting Tips. Die Nationalelf have shown promising signs under Julian Nagelsmann ahead of the Euros. However, Germany has been far from their imperious best at recent major tournaments – going out at the group stage in two of the last three competitions. Scotland completed a strong qualifying campaign. Yet Steve Clarke’s side have struggled for momentum after reaching the Euro finals. Can the Germans hold their nerve and produce an opening match win against the Tartan Army? This fixture starts at 8p.m. It will be shown live on ITV.

Form and Team News

Germany appointed Nagelsmann in September 2023 and the former Bayern Munich boss made a rocky start. The 36-year-old failed to win three of his opening four matches, including defeats to Turkey (3-2) and Austria (2-0). However, Germany have found their feet under Nagelsmann recently and are unbeaten in four. Die Nationalelf beat France (2-0) and the Netherlands (2-1) in March. They followed these results with a 0-0 draw against Ukraine and a 2-1 victory over Greece. Scotland impressed in their Euros qualification campaign, with five wins and two draws from eight. But, Clarke’s side couldn’t maintain the momentum and went winless in seven before a 2-0 friendly win against Gibraltar. The Tartan Army then completed their warm-up fixtures with a 2-2 draw with Finland – despite leading 2-0 with 20 minutes left.

Germany begins their Euro 2024 campaign with no injuries or suspensions. Scotland’s captain Andy Robertson is doubtful, and striker Lawrence Shankland could also be out due to injury.

Match Winner Bet

Firstly, the match winner odds for Germany vs Scotland highlight one clear favourite. Ultimately, Scotland’s recent dip in form and struggles against the top sides means they are the outsiders. Clarke’s side has also lost their last three encounters with Germany. Due to this, the Tartan Army have long odds of an opening match victory, with Midnite providing 10/1. A draw could be a better alternative, as Scotland has had three stalemates in their previous six fixtures. Germany were also held 0-0 by Ukraine in a cagey encounter in a warm-up friendly. Scotland therefore might be confident of holding out for a Group A point, and there are good odds for this outcome. BetUK have the best value for a Germany-Scotland draw at 5/1.  But there are several factors leading us towards a German win in this Euro 2024 opener. Die Nationalelf haven’t hit top form in their four-match unbeaten run but have still produced strong results. Moreover, the German’s home form could give them extra motivation to make a strong start. As a result, we are tipping Nagelsmann’s side to get off the mark in Munich. Coral has the best odds for the hosts to beat Scotland at 3/10.

Germany -1 Handicap

Currently, the odds for a Germany win over Scotland are relatively low, so backing a handicap could provide additional value. There is also a strong case for Germany covering a -1 handicap in this Euros clash. The host nation has scored two or more goals in seven of their previous 10 matches and in their last three head-to-heads with Scotland. Clarke’s side have also been leaky, shipping two or more goals in seven of their previous nine. At 43/50 odds, Midnite has the best potential returns for a Germany -1 handicap against Scotland.

Anytime Goalscorer

A couple of names stand out for Germany and Scotland in the anytime goalscorer market. Scotland’s attacking outlet is likely to come from Che Adams, especially with Shankland an injury doubt. Adams had a strong season with Southampton, notching 16 league goals in 25 starts. The Saints frontman also added his sixth international goal in Scotland’s 2-0 win over Gibraltar last week. BetUK is offering 13/2 odds for an Adams anytime goal against Germany – a decent outsider pick. Our main man in the anytime goalscorer market though is Germany’s Kai Havertz. The German striker impressed for Arsenal late in the campaign, scoring four goals in his final six games. Also, Nagelsmann has entrusted Havertz with the centre-forward role recently. This has led the Arsenal man to score three goals in his last six internationals. At 8/5, offered by Bet365, the returns are decent on a possible Havertz goal in Munich.
