England U21 will face Germany U21 at the Stadion pod Zoborom on Wednesday in the final group-stage game of their 2025 U21 European Championship campaign. The Young Lions have had a positive start to their continental campaign and will advance to the knockout stages regardless of Wednesday's result, provided last-placed Czech Republic U21 avoid defeat elsewhere.
They played out a goalless draw against Slovenia U21 in their last match and fully deserved more from the game, but were guilty of wasteful finishing as they squandered multiple chances to get on the scoresheet in both halves.
Germany U21, meanwhile, have registered two wins from two in the Euros so far and are through to the quarterfinals. They picked up a 4-2 win over Czechia last time out, with four different players getting on the scoresheet, including Stuttgart man Nick Woltemade, who netted his fourth goal of the tournament.
Trending
The Germans sit atop Group B with six points. They are two points above their midweek opponents and only need a draw on Wednesday to finish as group winners.

England U21 vs Germany U21 Prediction
England have picked up two wins from their last three games after going winless in their previous three. They have perhaps the stronger side on paper and will head into the midweek clash as slight favorites.
Germany are on a brilliant four-game winning streak and are undefeated in their last 17. They have been prolific in front of goal in the continental showpiece so far and should have enough to avoid defeat here.
