Preview
Scotland face Czech Republic at Hampden Park in their opening match of the Group stage on Monday in the Euro 2020.
The Scottish side have played some good football on the road and through their success in the qualification campaign; booked themselves a spot in the Euro 2020.
This will be an important match for being sides as they have Croatia and England to face in the remaining matches of the group; and victory will give them the much-needed confidence going into the next ones.
Robertson and Co did decently in their warm up matches as they drew 2-2 against Netherlands and followed it up with a 1-0 win over Luxembourg.
Czech Republic, on the other hand are the underdogs in this group and could create trouble for their opponents with their style of play.
A hammering against Italy did not give them the boost for the Euro 2020 but the win against Albania reduced the nerves in the camp ahead of their opening match.
This match could see the tone for progression from the Group stage as a surprise package.
Scotland will be happy with the fact that they play this one at home; and should get the result in front of their fans.
The last time the two sides faced each other, Scotland won 1-0 in the UEFA Nations League Group stage match with a striker from Fraser making the difference.
