GER vs SCO Dream11 Prediction: Germany and Scotland will meet in the Euro 2024 curtain raiser at Allianz Arena in Munich on Friday, June 14. The German football team will target their record fourth European Championship title at home after disappointment in the Euro 2020 and FIFA World Cup 2022.
Toni Kroos made his return to international football for the one last time and will be under focus against Scotland. In a bit of worry for the head coach Julian Nagelsmann, Die Mannschaft failed to find a goal against Ukraine in their first warm-up game and needed a late winner against Greece in the last game.
On the other hand, Scotland will fancy a maiden knockout-round qualification having drawn with Germany, Hungary and Switzerland in Group A. Steve Clarke's men defeated Gibraltar and drew 2-2 with Finland in their warm-up matches but remain without a win against Germany in four encounters in the past.

Mid-fielders: Ilkay Gundogan, John McGinn, Jamal Musiala
Forward: Kai Havertz, Florian Wirtz (C), Lawrence Shankland
GER vs SCO Dream11 Captaincy picks:
Kai Havertz: Arsenal forward will continue his role as a false nine for Germany ahead of Timo Werner in Euro 2024. Havertz made a stunning comeback in the second half of the 2023-24 season where he scored 13 goals in the English Premier League. Havertz also scored the opening goal against Greece in the last warm-up game and will be a safe captaincy choice on the Dream11 team.
Florian Wirtz: The rising German star enjoyed a stunning 2023-24 campaign with the eventual Bundesliga winners Bayer Leverkusen. Wirtz scored 11 goals and provided 11 assists in the 32 league matches and also proved his consistency in the German Cup and Europa League.
