England U21 are defending champions at this level and are hoping to replicate their 2023 success. Lee Carsley's team is very close to qualifying for the second phase after four points from the first two rounds. In the opening round, England U21 convincingly won 3-1 against the Czech Republic U21. However, three days later, Carsley's team were surprisingly held to a 0-0 draw against Slovenia U21. Despite dominating the game and finishing with an expected goals (xG) of 2.40 compared to Slovenia's 0.56, the Three Lions were ultimately unable to convert their chances into goals and had to settle for a single point.

Germany U21 are another favorite for the title at this year's tournament. They opened the competition with two wins, so Antonio Di Salvo's team already progressed to the quarterfinals. In the opening round, Antonio Di Salvo's side cruised to a 3-0 win over Slovenia U21, followed by a 4-2 victory against the Czech Republic U21 just three days later. With qualification already secured, Di Salvo is expected to rotate his squad and rest key players for the final group-stage match.

England U21 vs Germany U21 pick: Over 2.5 goals

England U21 scored ten goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, Germany U21 scored ten goals in the previous three games. We should expect at least three goals in the upcoming clash in Nitra.
