Euro 2024 kicks off with a thrilling encounter between the host nation and the Tartan Army.

The host nation, Germany are one of the favourites to win Euro 2024. They are heading into this match on the back of excellent form, remaining unbeaten in the last four games. In those matches, they defeated European powerhouses the Netherlands and France. Die Mannschaft have been drawn in Group A alongside Hungary, Scotland and Switzerland.

Scotland have secured mixed results in the last couple of matches, with one win, a draw and two losses. They played a 2-2 draw against Finland in their final friendly. It was a disappointment, as they conceded two goals after going 2-0 in front. The Tartan Army will now face Germany in the opening Euro 2024 match.

Player to Watch

Toni Kroos (Germany)

Toni Kroos, who won the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid, still has business to do with the national team. He will be a crucial member due to his experience at these prestigious tournaments. He has already made an impact for the team in friendly matches and will hope to make a similar impact at the Euros.

Kroos’ vision, ability to control the game’s tempo and create opportunities will only benefit the team. He has over 109 appearances for the German national team.

Scott McTominay (Scotland) 

Scott McTominay had a good season with Manchester United where he made 32 appearances, scoring seven goals and assisting one. He is known for his darting runs from midfield which has become a trademark. He also helps out his defence by doing the defensive work efficiently.

So far he has already made over 49 appearances for the national team, scoring eight goals. McTominay is also useful in the transition from defence to attack.
