Germany vs Scotland: Pre-Match Opta Facts

  • Germany and Scotland are facing each other for the third time at a major tournament. Germany won the two previous encounters, in the group stages of the 1986 FIFA World Cup (2-1) and UEFA Euro 1992 (2-0).
  • Scotland have won only one of their last 13 matches against Germany (D4 L8). That was in April 1999, with Don Hutchison scoring the only goal in a friendly staged in Bremen (0-1).
  • Germany are taking part in their 14th UEFA European Championship tournament, more than any other team. They have won the trophy three times, the joint-most alongside Spain (3).
  • This is the fourth time that Germany are sole hosts of a major international tournament. They have reached the final four in each of the previous three editions: champions at the 1974 World Cup, semi-finalists at Euro 1988 and third place at the 2006 World Cup.
  • Germany have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 12 games at major international tournaments (World Cup + Euros). The last time they kept a clean sheet was against Slovakia in the round of 16 at Euro 2016
  • Germany have won only one of their last five matches played in Munich (D3 L1), a 4-2 victory against Portugal at Euro 2020.
  • Scotland are making their fourth appearance at the European Championship after 1992, 1996 and 2020. They have so far never reached the knockout stages of the tournament.
  • Scotland’s two wins (out of 9 matches) at the European Championship came against CIS in 1992 and Switzerland in 1996. They have failed to score in six of their nine matches.
  • Scotland won their first five UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers but then failed to win any of their final three (D2 L1), conceding seven goals in those games after only shipping one goal in their first five games.
  • Thomas Müller has scored 10 goals in 19 appearances at the FIFA World Cup (36 shots), but he’s never scored in 15 appearances at the European Championship (31 shots).
  • This will be Julian Nagelsmann’s first major tournament as head-coach. Jupp Derwall was the last Germany boss to win a major tournament with them at the first attempt (Euro 1980).
  • Scott McTominay scored seven goals for Scotland in Euro 2024 qualifying. This was the joint most by a Scottish player in a European Championship/World Cup qualifying campaign, along with Steven Fletcher (Euro 2016) and John McGinn (Euro 2020).
  • This is Steve Clarke’s second major international tournament as head-coach, after Euro 2020. He’s the first Scotland boss to lead the team into two consecutive Euro tournaments.
