England welcome Scotland to Wembley as fans flock to London for the highly anticipated Euro 2020 Group D match.
Gareth Southgate’s side fought valiantly to take all three points in their opening game against Croatia, with Raheem Sterling’s second-half strike putting England in pole position to top the group.
However, they can ill-afford to overlook a Scotland side desperately in need of a positive performance after a lacklustre defeat by Czech Republic, with captain Andrew Robertson issuing a rallying cry to his teammates earlier this week.

“A chance to play against them is a chance to show people that doubt Scottish football what we can do,” he said. "We did that in 2017. We gave them a tough game and we’ll need the same application and performance levels as that night. We were good that day, we followed our gameplan and we will need to do that again to get anything off England.”

Prediction
Scotland’s performance against the Czechs was not as a poor as the scoreline suggested but that defeat makes this all the more important, and it was already their biggest occasion for a generation. Even so, England’s quality should come through with a Wembley crowd behind them and there was enough resilience about Sunday’s performance against Croatia to suggest they can keep a clean sheet too. 2-0 to England.
