England U21 vs Germany U21 Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Euro U21 2025

The Young Lions secured an easy win against the Germans when these sides last battled.

The England U21 football team is gearing up to take on the Germany national under-21 football team in their final group stage fixture of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship 2025 edition. The contest between the two teams will take place at the Pod Zoborom Stadium.

After contesting in their previous two group stage games of the UEFA Euro U21 2025 campaign, the England national under-21 football team defeated Czechia U21 in their first fixture and were held to a goalless draw in their second fixture by Slovenia U21.

The Young Lions did come up with a good attacking rate, but failed to convert any of their shots into goals. This might become a problem for them against the Germans.

The Germany national under-21 football team is looking in good touch and have won both previous group stage games in a dominating fashion. They will be looking to build up pressure on the Englishmen from the start, which might even help them prevail. It is not going to be an easy fixture for them either.

• Location: Nitra, Slovakia
• Stadium: Pod Zoborom
• Date: Thursday, June 19
• Kick-off Time: 00:30 IST (Wednesday, June 18; 19:00 GMT/ 15:00 ET/ 12:00 PT)

Players to Watch

Harvey Elliott (England U21)

The Liverpool star is once again going to be in action for the England national under-21 football team. Harvey Elliott did well in the first match as he scored a goal for the Young Lions and led them to a win. Elliott was able to secure the Player of the Match title due to his impressive performance, that too without scoring a goal. He will be looking to step up as they take on the Germans next.
