Paddy Power
Germany vs Scotland Stat Specials
Germany to have a shot on target between 00:00-09:59 11/10
As the host nation, Germany will surely be looking to lay down a marker against Scotland and that could lead to a fast start from the hosts. This is also their first competitive outing since their group stage exit at the World Cup in 2022 so they should be raring to go and the 11/10 on one German shot on target inside the first 10 minutes appeals.
Power Prices
F Wirtz & S McTominay to have 1 or more shots on target each – was 9/4 now 11/4
Scott McTominay was Scotland’s leading scorer in qualifying with seven goals in eight games and at club level with Manchester United he also enjoyed a productive season with 10 goals across all competitions, averaging 0.6 attempts per-game in the Premier League.
Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz enjoyed an incredible season as he picked up the Bundesliga Player of the Season award, with 18 goals in 49 games in all competitions. Wirtz averaged 1.1 shots on target per-game in Germany’s top tier.
Sky Bet
Manuel Neuer 3+ saves – was 11/8 Price Boost 2/1
Germany keeper Manuel Neuer has made eight saves across his last two games for his country (five vs Greece and three vs Ukraine) and has made at least three in total in five of his last six games for Die Mannschaft and club side Bayern Munich.
Scotland are big underdogs here, but they will feel they have a bit of a point to prove as they seek a first win in a major tournament since 1996 and they may well be able to force at least three saves.
