As the host nation, Germany looks to capitalize on home advantage, while Scotland aims to defy the odds.
Match Preview
The Allianz Arena in Munich sets the stage for this opening clash. Germany, under the leadership of Julian Nagelsmann, enters the tournament with high expectations and a talented squad.
Scotland, managed by Steve Clarke, will look to leverage their underdog status to surprise the hosts.
