Preview: Scotland vs Czech Republic

As Scotland kick off their first UEFA Euro 2020 match against a resilient Czech Republic side at Hampden Park, all eyes will be on Steve Clarke's tactical setup and whether his team can capitalize on their recent momentum in front of a home crowd.

Scotland

Having only two victories in the last six games across all international competitions, Scotland enters this fixture on the back of a win over Luxembourg. The international friendly at Josy Barthel National Stadium ended in a 1-0 victory for Scotland, courtesy of a goal by Southampton’s Che Adams in the 27th minute.

Prior to that match, Scotland secured a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands and achieved a commanding 4-0 triumph over the Faroe Islands. Scotland's coach, Steve Clarke, has announced his 26-man squad ahead of the tournament. Key players include Leeds’ Liam Cooper, Celtic's Jack Hendry, Liverpool's Andy Robertson, and Arsenal's Kieran Tierney.

Also featured in the squad are Southampton's Stuart Armstrong, Chelsea's Billy Gilmour, Aston Villa's John McGinn, and Manchester United's Scott McTominay. The 57-year-old Clarke, who once managed West Bromwich Albion (2012-2013), took charge of Scotland on May 20, 2019. Under his guidance, the team records 9 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses in 21 games.

With a 43% win rate, Clarke aims to secure another victory on Monday as Scotland makes its first appearance in UEFA Euro 2020. Against Luxembourg, Clarke opted for a 4-3-3 formation, with QPR's Lyndon Dykes as the center-forward, supported by Che Adams and Declan Gallagher on the wings. A similar lineup and formation might be expected on Monday.
