It will be an uphill battle for the Scotland team as they play a Germany team that has not lost a competitive game since that famous 2-1 loss to Italy in the UEFA Euro 2012.

An uphill battle for Scotland and deed but nothing is impossible, and they’ll play their best, German coach Joachim Low knows this.
“Scotland have had no problems in their preparations,” he said, via Sky Sports. “They have a British mentality but they don’t play with a British style these days. They try to play good football but are still very well organised.
“They have quality players and have nothing to lose in this match so will play with no fear. We know all about their team and their biggest strength is that they are a team.
“They have good players like Steven Naismith, Shaun Maloney and Ikechi Anya. Darren Fletcher is the best known player playing for Manchester United. He is also the most experienced player.
“They will be motivated, physical and they will run a lot and they are also very good in one-on-ones.
“They have won twice against Croatia and drew again USA and Nigeria and so we know they are a very good team. It will be a difficult match for us.”
