Europe - Euro U21
Prediction :
Draw
Germany edged out Italy in one of the most entertaining matches at the Euro U21 Championship to set up a semi-final clash against France. The French also served an entertaining last eight clash, with a stunning comeback that saw them eliminate Denmark. The ultimate prize for these two sides is a place in the final on Saturday, meeting either England or the Netherlands. Below is our prediction for the match.
In the last five editions of this competition, Germany reached three finals and won two titles—in 2017 and 2021. In 2019 they lost to Spain, and then in 2023, as defending champions, they suffered group stage elimination. You have to trace back 17 years for the last time these nations met competitively.
It was in a Euro U21 finals qualification, and Germany won 1-0. As for France, it hasn’t been a great experience over the years in this competition. They last won this title in 1988. With their performance in the quarter-final, though, France will have reason to imagine they can go all the way. The last time they reached the final of this competition was in 2002.

Germany -21 & France -21 Squad Analysis
Germany and France have been prolific scorers at this year’s competition. However, it is Germany who is producing the lead scorer at the moment. Nick Woltemade was on target again in the quarter-finals, scoring to start the comeback and providing the assist for the second goal.
He now has five goals in this tournament and has also laid on three assists. Merlin Rohl is also emerging as a key player for the Germans.
He scored the winner against Italy, once again laying his golden touch on the Germans’ fortune. He has had five goal involvements for Germany U21, and on each of those occasions, the team won.
Tel is eyeing a second goal against Germany.
On the French side, the focus in attack could momentarily switch to Mathys Tel, the match winner against Denmark. He was also on target against Germany in a November 2024 friendly match.
The Tottenham Hotspur man will be fired up for this after his crucial goal at the quarters. Apart from Tel, Djaoui Cisse will be a man in focus; his chase for the golden boot is worth noting. He has three goals so far.
