The UEFA Euro 2024 will begin on June 14 and Germany, as the host country, will be seeded in Group A where it will share a group with Scotland, Hungary and Switzerland. Consequently, the opening match will also be in the hands of the German team where they will face Scotland in it Munich Football Arena.
Those led by Julian Nagelsmann reach the Euro having won the last friendly against Greece by 2 to 1, while Steve Clarke’s team tied against Finland by 2 to 2.
To get into the weather, 90min We are going to review the latest confrontations between Germany and Scotland where the history is in favor of the German team.
The first face to face was for the qualifiers to qualify for the 1970 World Cup where they tied 1 to 1.
For the second match in the same knockout phase, Germany was able to impose its game against the Tartan army, whom it beat 3 to 2 to secure first place in the group.
For the first time in history they would meet in a World Cup, for Germany it would mean passage to the next round and the beginning of the road to the world final, for Scotland, a new defeat that would leave them eliminated from the competition.
Riedle and Effenberg were the men who scored in this 2-0 victory for the Germans in a key duel of the Euro Cup where whoever emerged victorious advanced to the semifinals and the other would be left out of the competition.
Another occasion where these teams met was in an international friendly. This match was the only one to date in which Scotland was able to win, even if only by the minimum, since the rest of the matches were with positive results for Germany or equalities.
Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland was the first stage for the matches between both teams. This duel was played under the concept of Euro Cup qualifiers and ended in a 1-1 draw with a goal from Fredi Bobic to open the scoring and Kenny Miller on the Scottish team’s side to tie the match and deny the Germans the victory.
In these same qualifiers, they met again just three days later and on this occasion, Germany has positioned itself as the leaders of Group 5 after beating a Scotland with ten men. The protagonists of the goals were Fredi Bobic and Michael Ballack for the winning team, and Neil McCann was the one who scored for the Scots but even so, it was not enough.
The Euro Cup qualifiers saw them face each other again on September 7, 2014. This was a match full of yellow cards, with a slight superiority of Germany that allowed them to retain the victory after Scotland decided on a very defensive tactical approach and with the clear idea of betting on the counterattack, which, despite having generated some dangerous plays, failed to defeat the Germans.
And once again, Thomas Müller was a figure after scoring a double.
The Euro 2015 qualifiers are the most recent precedent between these two teams. It was a great game full of goals, back and forth where Germany opened the scoring thanks to Thomas Müller and the Scottish team quickly managed to tie with Mats Hummels. A situation that was repeated in the same way minutes later, again with Müller putting his team ahead and James McArthur equalizing the match.
After so many sacred shouts during the first stage of the duel, a few minutes into the second half, Ílkay Gündogan scored the third goal to give Germany the victory.
