• Competition: U21 European Championship
• Date: 12th June, 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: MOL Arena

Czechia and England begin their U21 European Championship campaign on Thursday at the MOL Arena in Slovakia.

Both teams have played a series of friendly matches in the months leading up to the European Championship, in which they have not performed at their best.

Tournament favourites England U21s managed just one win in their four friendlies, beating Portugal U21s 4-2 at the end of March, drawing their other two games and losing 5-3 to France U21s. The Czech U21s, on the other hand, only played two friendlies in the run-up to the tournament in the summer, drawing against Spain U21s (2-2) and losing to Norway U21s (0- 2).

Czech Republic U21 - England U21 Betting Tips: England U21 to Win

Alongside Spain U21, France U21 and Germany U21, England are one of the four outright favourites to win the European U21 Championship. Unsurprisingly, the Three Lions go into their opening Group B match against the Czech U21 team, who have not won in their last seven matches at the European U21 Championship. More importantly, England U21 have won their last four head-to-head meetings with the Czech U21s, and that is evidence enough to place a bet on England to win on Thursday.
