Ukraine U21 and Denmark U21 will trade tackles in their opening game of the 2025 UEFA Euro Under-21 Championship on Thursday (June 12th). The game will be played at Stadion 1. FC Tatran.
The Ukrainians concluded their preparations for this tournament with a surprise 1-0 victory over Spain in a friendly last week. The game was seemingly destined to finish in a goalless stalemate until Ilya Kvasnytsya scored the match-winner in the second minute of injury time.
Denmark, meanwhile, have not been in action since playing out a 1-1 draw against Italy in a friendly in March. Both goals were scored in the first half, with Oliver Sorensen putting the Danes ahead in the 21st minute while Matteo Prati equalized in the 37th.

Ukraine U21 vs Denmark U21 Prediction
Ukraine defied expectations to make it all the way to the semifinal of the 2023 edition of this tournament. They also had an impressive qualification campaign, finishing just one point behind defending champions England. Unai Melgosa's side will be full of confidence, having recently defeated favorites Spain.
Denmark are winless in their last four games, drawing each of their last two. Manager Steffen Højer will have to do without the services of main striker Mika Biereth, with the 22-year-old not released by Monaco.
This game is likely to be the determinant for who finishes second in this group behind The Netherlands. We are backing the spoils to be shared in a high-scoring stalemate.
