John McGinn. Only player for Scotland who can make the difference for the country. With his 10 international goals, McGinn is the top scorer in the current Scotland squad. His vicious run covers the midfield and makes chances for goals.
Czech Republic
Lukas Provod. Slavia Prague midfielder Lukas Provod will certainly look for a knock as he showed his power by scoring a goal that helped Prague knock Leicester out of the Europa League on February 26.
Ondrej Kudela. Although Kudela is one of the top-notch players for the Czech, unfortunately, he just got 10 match bans from UEFA for an incident with “Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara earlier this season.”
Czech Republic vs Scotland Euro 2020 Match Preview and Prediction

Scotland’s Euro 2020 appearance is very dramatic. Thanks to a back-to-back penalty shootout win over Israel and Serbia in the semifinal and final games of the playoff. But they appeared to be the outsiders to claim the top two positions in Group D.
On the other hand, Czech Republic will certainly have their eye for the top two positions to proceed to the second round. Therefore, the Czechs should not be looking for anything but a win. But it is difficult to predict Czech Republic’s performance as they have been very inconsistent lately.
Team News
Scotland’s head coach Clarke is getting all of his 26 players. So, he has nothing to worry about injury, but the coach has already decided on the starting XI. However, Midfielder John Fleck will not be in the starting lineup for sure as he tested positive for Covid-19 at the pre-tournament camp in Spain.
For the Czechs, the team will play without their goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka as he was ruled out due to injury. Tomas Koubek joined the team last Tuesday. But, there is a piece of bad news for the team, Slavia Prague defender Ondrej Kudela will not be able to join any of the Euro 2020 matches, as he was banned for 10 matches by UEFA due to racially abusing Rangers’ Glen Kamara in a Europa League tie.
