England won their first Uefa Euro 2020 game for the first time ever in the history of their European games. The Three Lions scored 1-0 against Croatia in what was perceived as a revenge match since Croatia knocked them out of the 2018 World Cup semi-finals. 

The England–Scotland football rivalry is a sports rivalry that exists between the England and Scotland national football teams. The game is the oldest international fixture in the world, first played in 1872 at Hamilton Crescent, Glasgow.  

England are the favourites to win as they are stronger and rated higher than their noisy neighbours. The game will be played at 10 pm, Friday, June 18 at Wembley Stadium.

Betika Odds for England vs Scotland 

England win -  1.36

Draw           -  5.20

Scotland win  -  10.00 

Scotland are playing in their first European Championship since 1996 when they also faced England in the group stage and first major tournament since the 1998 World Cup.

The last time the two nations met at a major competition, England beat Scotland 2-0 at Wembley at Euro ‘96. 

The Tartan Army (Scotland) lost their first Uefa Euro 2020 to the Czech Republic and will be at risk of elimination if they record a poor result against England. Scotland will be hoping for a better result as they face Croatia in their last match. 

Player’s to watch 

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is searching for his first trophy with England. The England Captain stated that he would have failed if he would end his football career without winning a major trophy with England.

Kane hasn’t scored a goal yet in the Euros and has been touted as one of the top scorer contenders along with Belgium's Romelu Lukaku and Portugal’s Christiano Ronaldo who both have a brace. 

Scotland hope that Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney will be cleared in time to face England after training lightly. Tierney missed their opening defeat against the Czechs. However, Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson will also pose a threat to England.
