Spain U21 vs Italy U21 Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA U21 Euro 2025

Both La Rojita and Gli Azzurrini are battling for the top spot in Group A.

The Spain national under-21 football team are all set to battle the Italy national under-21 football team in their final group stage fixture of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship 2025 edition. The Stadium of Anton Mlatinsky is all set to witness the intense clash between these two sides.

The Spain national under-21 football team are looking in good touch and have secured positive results in both of their UEFA Euro U21 2025 campaign. La Rojita did come up with good performances, but their attack in the first half against Romania U21 looked poor. They, however, came back in the second half to win the game.

Gli Azzurrini have also performed well. They have also maintained clean sheets in both of their previous games of the European tournament. The Italy national under-21 football team will now be eyeing the top spot in the group, but it is not going to be an easy task as the Spaniards are also doing well.

Players to Watch

Mateo Joseph (Spain U21)

The Leeds United forward is going to play an important role for his national team once again. He scored a goal in the Euro U21 fixture against Slovakia U21, but he failed to do so against Romania U21. Mateo Joseph will now be looking to step up, as the Italians do have a good defence.

Cesare Casadei (Italy U21)

Cesare Casadei was the sole goal scorer for the Italy national under-21 football team in their last game against the hosts, Slovakia U21. He is going to play an important role in controlling the midfield. Casadei can also trouble the Spaniards on the attacking front.

The Torino FC midfielder will be looking to step up here.
