England faces Scotland in round 2 of the Euro group stage. The match will be played on Friday, June 18th at Wembley Stadium (London)
In 2018 England was able to show the best result in a quarter of a century. The Three Lions reached the semifinals of the World Cup. Now Southgate and his players want to show that it was no coincidence and prove that the team is simply strong, and did not use the successful playoff grid. Gareth continues to make a bold bet on young footballers. Sterling and even Rice look like veterans against the backdrop of Foden and Mount. And Bellingham, who will turn 18 in just 2.5 weeks, appeared from the bench in the first game against Croatia. Jude has set a new age record for the Euro. We’ll also note the mentor's decision to field Phillips from Leeds. Kalvin was definitely not lost and was one of the most dangerous players, deserving comparison with Pirlo. As a result, the British were not particularly bright but won 1-0. Moreover, Rashford appeared on the pitch only in the second half, and Grealish and Jordan Henderson remained on the bench. Maguire, Chilwell and even Sancho were not included in the roster for that game. So, the coaching staff has a huge reserve for updating the starting lineup.

Scotland could not even use the advantage of the home field. Having made it to the final tournament for the first time this century, the Scots hosted Czechs in Glasgow on June 14th. It seemed to be the easiest of the three opponents, but the Tartan Army didn’t show anything special. The fight was basically equal for almost the entire 1st half, but the Scots were unable to score. And then they conceded after a typical British combination. Coufal fired in a cross from the flank, and Schick won his air duel against the defenders. When Patrick scored from the middle of the field at the beginning of the 2nd half, the task for Steve Clark's charges turned into a kind of "mission impossible". They tried but created few chances. Rather, if the score could change, then only in the direction of thumping, as Marshall helped out more than once. Robertson and McTominay tried to change something, but the game ended in a 0-2 victory for the Czechs. There will be a different attitude towards the neighbors, but will it help?
In 2017, the teams played their last head-to-head match in Glasgow. It seemed that the Scots snatched the victory, as Griffiths scored in the 87th and 90th minutes. But Kane managed to net a double and leveled the score. Now bookmakers are confident that England will win. It seems that only the Lions themselves and their penchant for pragmatism can prevent them from gaining three points. Therefore, we decided to bet on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
