Europe - Euro U21
Prediction :
Both teams to score
Potential second-place contenders of Group D in the 2025 UEFA European U21 Championship, Ukraine and Denmark, will kick-start their campaign on Thursday. This is match one for the Young Men (Ukraine) and the Danes to be played at Futbal Tatran Arena in Presov, with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
The other members of the group are the Netherlands and Finland, with the Orange expected to top the group. That leaves Ukraine and Denmark to potentially fight for the second spot, which will see them qualify for the knockouts.
Ukraine had an indifferent run in the friends coming into the tournament (W1, D1, L1), although a 1-0 win over Spain last time out should be moral-boosting.
They can also take comfort from their impressive run in the qualifiers (W8, D2), where only England finished ahead of them and Ukraine ended as one of the three strongest second-placed sides.
Denmark would have wanted a better preparation than what they had to endure, failing to win any of their four friends (D2, L2), although drawing the last two.
The Danes enjoyed a fantastic qualification tournament nonetheless, finishing top of Group I with five wins (W5, D2, L1). Having missed the last edition of the U21 Euros, Denmark would want to start this tournament with a bang.

Our Ukraine -21 vs Denmark -21 Prediction
Ukraine showed in the qualifiers that they can't be taken lightly by finishing just one point behind England. By scoring in all but one of those ten qualifiers, they have displayed attacking enough might to make other teams sit and take notice. Interestingly, their opponent here, Denmark, is expected to be their nearest contender for the second spot in the group. The Danes are back in the mix after missing the last edition, and their scoring record in the qualifiers has been as impressive as Ukraine's.
That's why our Ukraine -21 vs. Denmark -21 prediction is both teams to score.
