THE long wait is finally over and Euro 2024 gets underway tonight as Scotland bid to pull off one of the tournament's greatest shocks against hosts Germany in Munich.
Steve Clarke's boys managed to surprise Spain in a brilliant qualifying campaign as they booked their place at the finals with two games to spare.
But they've only claimed a single victory in their nine matches since then so it's easy to see why a German side unbeaten in 2024 are Bet365's 1/4 hot favourites tonight.
The hosts were in disarray last year but the decision to bin Hansi Flick and replace him with Julian Nagelsmann seems to have revitalised the team.
The Germans have the potential to go far on home soil this summer but won't take a victory for granted tonight having seen so many big guns come a cropper in their opening game at a major finals.
Germany vs Scotland Top Betting Tips
The atmosphere at the Allianz Arena will be brilliant and I'd imagine Scotland will steam into a few challenges to let the Germans know they won't be able to play at their own pace.
That makes cards a good option for punters, especially with referees told to clamp down on dissent at Euro 2024. Over 3.5 match cards looks terrific value at evens and the odds are even better for individual players.
Celtic's Anthony Ralston likes a tackle and he'll be up against wonderkid Florian Wirtz so he looks well worth a punt at 15/4 to go into the book.
Kieran Tierney is another who offers total commitment and he's a whopping 6/1 to be carded.
The Scots have looked vulnerable in defence of late, with Grant Hanley particularly rusty having been starved of game time at Norwich. If he plays the speedy German forwards could get some joy so a win for the hosts combined with over 2.5 goals looks good at 10/11.
I don't think Clarke will just park the bus so the Scots could ask some questions of Nagelsmann's defence. John McGinn usually plays much further up the field for Scotland than he does for Aston Villa so he looks good value at 6/5 for a shot on target.
Flamengo vs Gremio Top Tips
If the tasty clash in Munich isn't enough to sate your appetite for football, there's a few games in Brazil kicking off late at night.
With leaders Botafogo not in action, Flamengo have the chance to go top if they win their game in hand to Gremio.
Although Gremio sit a lowly 13th at the moment it's something of a false position given they have played two or three games fewer than most of the other sides.
But they're still 21/4 rank outsiders away to a Flamengo side who thrashed Vasco 6-1 away from home in their last outing to make it four wins in a row in all competitions.
Flamengo have scored 15 times during that run so backing them to win in a bet builder with over 2.5 goals looks the best shout at 13/10.
Tite's side also look good value to be winning at half-time and full-time, which also pays 13/10. That bet has landed in their last four matches.

Agreed on the cards front mate!
Really shocked to see some large prices on WilliamHill
Players to be Carded:
McGinn 5/2 (Box to box midfielder who will get stuck right in)
McTominay 11/4 (gets stuck in at midfield and up against a much better opponent in Germany)
Gilmour 4/1 (as above really)
Ralston 4/1 (up against Wirtz and not had much game time recently)
Rudiger 17/4 (Tends to give away silly fouls and has some pretty high card stats in big games)
McGregor 11/2 (Leads from the front as skipper at celtic and often carded when the going gets tough)
Havertz 13/2 (Surprisingly high card stats in the prem, also moans a lot so ref could action the so called “new rule”)
Tierney 13/2 (Up against Musliala who is fouled a lot)
Goodluck if anyone follows any :)
Betfair & WH giving free £1 BB’s for the game so risk free punts for big returns. I’m getting majority of accounts reopened tonight and already on Germany 6+ corners at evens, PP account back in the morning & McTominay is evens for a foul

Van Djik is Holland’s penalty taker Now.
Own goals are back up to 10/1 so will be on every game starting tonight.
Van dijk is on pennas surely not?? that’s hilarious what about all the players thats job it is to score.. worth having him anytime on matches if the price is high. Own goals great price macca?

@cocker
If a header hits the woodwork is it a shot on target
“If a header hits the woodwork is it a shot on target”
No. A shot on target is “A deliberate attempt to score that is on target. Includes all Goals being scored and shots on target saved by the Goalkeeper. It also includes shots on target that are Blocked by a last line defending player, preventing the ball from entering the Goal. ‘”
Germany v Scotland
Each keeper to make 2 + saves 11/10 Betfair boost
Paddy Power go 9/2 for Callum McGregor to commit 2 fouls ,this is tremendous value IMO as it includies their super sub offer, GL all
Great find Duncan all over this along with Mctominay.
Be careful on PP when a player has 2 or more fouls they don’t include the SuperSub
Aye you’re right adriang but still value ?
Billionaire the bet is for a team to hit the woodwork , not have a shot on target .
As far as I am aware a header hitting the post or bar would be a winner unless a goal was scored with the header .
Good afternoon, guys,
Well it’s finally here,
My punt for tonight,
Andrew Robertson, Kieran Tierney & Joshua Kimmich to
commit 3 or more fouls between them @ 11/8 with
Betfair #Oddsonthat – match stats specials
Good luck with all bets today!!!!

Euro 2024.
Correct score group betting.
Germany to win 1-0 2-0 or 3-0
7-5 @paddy power.
Germany to win 1-0 2-0 or 2-1
13-8 @SKYBET.
Prediction 1-0 or 2-0 which would bring both bets in.
Can’t see where Scotland are going to score from, maybe 1st night nerves might hit the Germans so put in bet 2 in case that happens.
Knowing Scotland, it will probably end in a 1:1 draw ??
Scotland to win and both teams to score 20/1
Holland outright winners of the euros 16/1 ?
On my usual. Own goals and pens. Very punty but I like the bigger odds.An own goal seems like having a lot of potential given head to heads between Germany and Scotland. If Scotland miss a pen that will deliver over £500. £250 for the own goal. BoL all!
Looks like value in the Argentina Guatemala match. Will be on over 2.5/3.5 and 4.5 first half goals.
