Friday June 14: Germany v Scotland.

The Euro 2024 curtain raiser should prove the perfect game to get the ball rolling. Despite a lack of competitive action since their 2022 World Cup exit, the tournament hosts are one of the favourites to go all the way in front of their own fans. Julian Nagelsmann has breathed fresh life into Die Mannschaft and expectations are high. However, Scotland aren't in Germany to merely make up the numbers; they did surprise Spain in qualifying after all. Considered by some to be dark horses at the Euros, this won't be easy for Nagelsmann's side when the tournament gets underway at the Allianz Arena this week.
