Czech Republic U21 will face Germany U21 at the MOL Arena on Sunday in the second group-stage game of their 2025 U21 European Championship campaign. Lvíčata kicked off their continental campaign on the wrong note and are one wrong result away from a premature exit from the competition as they sit third in Group B with zero points.
They were beaten 3-1 by England U21 in their opening game, finding themselves two goals down early in the second half and then halving the deficit in the 51st minute via a Daniel Fila header before their opponents scored a third and final goal 15 minutes from normal time to clinch all three points.
Germany U21, meanwhile, traded tackles with Slovenia U21 in their group opener and cruised to a 3-0 victory. Stuttgart man Nick Woltemade scored all three goals for the Germans just a week on from making his debut for the first team, registering the first two strikes in the first half before completing his hat-trick from the spot late in the second.
Trending
Antonio Di Salvo's men sit atop Group B with three points and will confirm a spot in the knockout stages with a win on Sunday, provided England avoid defeat elsewhere.

Lvíčata are on a run of back-to-back defeats and are winless in their last four matches. Antonio Di Salvo's men, on the other hand, are on an outstanding 16-game unbeaten run stretching back to June 2023.
The Germans are quite clearly the stronger of the two teams and that should be more than enough to win this one.
