Before this year, Finland U21 only played once at the championship in this age group, so the appearance at the EURO U21 is already a significant achievement. Finland U21 didn't expect much from the tournament, but in the opening round, they held the Netherlands U21 to a 2-2 draw. After one point against the strongest opponent in the group, Finland U21 surely hopes that the playoff phase is not too far away. However, we must be realistic and acknowledge that Mika Lehkosuo's team ended the game with an xG of 0.97, while the Netherlands had 2.04, suggesting that the draw came with a bit of good fortune.
Ukraine U21 appeared in only three EURO U21 tournaments, but they have an amazing result in those three appearances, as Ukraine U21 played in two semifinals. This year, they are not favored to progress to the knockout phase, especially after a 3-2 defeat in the opening round against Denmark U21. Ukraine U21 were in an excellent position in that match as they had a lead until the final ten minutes of the game, but Unai Melgosa's team eventually ended empty-handed.
Finland U21 vs Ukraine U21 pick: Over 2.5 goals
Both teams struggle on defense. Finland U21 allowed eight goals in the last four matches, while Ukraine conceded six goals in the previous three games. We should expect this game to be with three or more goals.

Following a significant point against the Netherlands, Finland U21's head coach, Mika Lehkosuo, was full of confidence that his team could finish in one of the top two positions in the group. Also, Lehkosuo talked about his team style, "I see that counterattacks and quick attacks are weapons that we can use to continue to score points. We were really dangerous in our counterattacks throughout the game, and we also scored goals from them."

Ukraine U21 team news
Ukraine U21 was close to points in the opening round against Denmark U21, so the head coach was understandably disappointed with the final result. He said, "We played well in the first half; the team was cohesive and compact, which resulted in a scored goal. After the break, the Danes started to play better, but in any case, we also had many chances to score. However, we lost a bit of our game rhythm, lost the initiative, and allowed our opponents to get back into the game. Unfortunately, we conceded very quickly after the score became 2:1. Our opponent got a bit lucky here, as there was a deflection. Of course, I am disappointed with the final result, as we didn't deserve to lose."
