England continues their bid for the Euros championship with the hope of a second win when they welcome Scotland at home this week. The match schedules for Friday at Wembley Stadium with kickoff at 10 pm.
The Three Lions started their Euros campaign with a scrapped win with a 1-0 win over Croatia on Sunday. On the other hand, Scotland suffered a 2-0 loss to the Czech Republic while making their ground in Group D.
Raheem Sterling capitalized on an amazing Kalvin Philips to give the Three Lions their first win of the competition. It was a comfortable win for England against a Croatian club that struggled to find inspiration.
Furthermore, Kalvin Philips showed his prowess in the middle of the park with several clear cut chances for the Leeds United talisman. However, Gareth Southgate faces another selection dilemma given the heap of talent on demand.
A major controversial selection was left back with Southgate dropping Luke Shaw and Ben Chilwell in favor of right-back Kieran Trippier. The match comes with the Czech Republic leading the group ahead of their final Group D fixtures.
On the other hand, Scotland failed to have a powerful start to their campaign following a 2-0 defeat to Czech Republic on Friday. Patrik Schick scored probably one of the Euros wonder goals with a long-range effort at Hampden Park.

England Team News
Dean Henderson withdrew from the squad after picking a hip injury, thus getting replaced by Aaron Ramsdale. Harry Maguire is pushing for his recovery from an ankle injury. Moreover, Jordan Henderson is still working himself back from a groin injury. It remains unclear whether Southgate will deploy Kieran Trippier at left-back of Ben Chilwell and Luke Shaw.
Scotland Team News
Kieran Tierney will miss out after picking a calf problem. However, there is a slim chance he could make the bench. Clarke will make some changes to the starting XI, thus giving Che Adams a spot in attack.
Prediction and Odds
Even though it is a tantalizing clash, we envisage the Three Lions scrape off another win this week.
- England Win
