Denmark U21 will be up against Finland U21 at the Kosicka Futbalova Arena on Wednesday in the final group-stage game of their 2025 U21 European Championship campaign. The Danes have nothing on the line, having already confirmed qualification for the next round.
Denmark defeated Ukraine 3-2 in the opening round before earning a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Netherlands on Sunday to make it two wins out of two and confirm top spot in the group. The Danish Dynamites came into the tournament on a poor run of four winless games, but have earned comeback wins in both their opening games and will have their sights set on staying sharp ahead of the knockout rounds.
Finland’s disappointing campaign continued as they were outmatched in their 2-0 loss to Ukraine last time out to see them drop to the bottom of the group, leaving them desperate to get an unlikely win this midweek while also hoping results elsewhere favour them to avoid elimination from the competition.
The Little Eagle-Owls only narrowly qualified for the Under-21 Euros and are still yet to find their footing with elimination now looming large.

Denmark U21 vs Finland U21 Prediction
Steffen Højer's men are comfortable favorites going into Wednesday's game and will only need to avoid complacency to get the win.
Pikkuhuuhkajat are in a precarious situation heading into their final group game, as they not only need a big enough win but must also hope Holland win by a smaller margin elsewhere. The uncertainty of their situation, coupled with their recent struggles in this fixture, could see them lose here
