- Competition: 2025 UEFA U-21 EURO
- Date: Wednesday, 11th, June 2025
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
- Venue: City Arena Trnava (Trnava)
Italy U21 will be looking to kick off their Euro U21 campaign on the right foot when they take on Romania U21 at City Arena Trnava on Wednesday evening.
Even though they can boast a record-tying five titles at the Under-21 European Championship, Italy’s pursuit of new silverware at this tournament has dragged on for over twenty years, but with this current crop of gifted players, they will surely fancy putting an end to that long-running drought.
On their part, Romania U21 have managed to establish themselves as a regular participants at the continent's biggest stage, with the summer's appearance marking their fourth straight outing where they will aim to replicate their standout 2019 campaign that saw them break into the final four.
Italy U21 vs Romania U21 Betting Tips : BTTS
There’s no denying that Italy U21 boast a more stacked lineup on paper, which naturally puts them in the driver’s seat heading into this one, but their tune-up phase ahead of the big tournament left much to be desired as they failed to notch a single win across four friendlies, three of which ended in stalemates. In stark contrast, Romania U21 arrive at the EURO U21 riding a wave of momentum after winning four of their last five outings across all competitions, including a stunning 1-0 friendly triumph over Portugal, so they are likely to pose a far stiffer challenge and could easily turn this into an entertaining affair. Although they've sliced through opposing defenses with ease, the Little Blues have uncharacteristically struggled to keep things tight at the back, as they have failed to keep the opposition from scoring across five straight outings. Considering the fluidity of the Small Tricolours’ frontline, which has found the net in ten of their last twelve outings, it’s hard to picture Carmine Nunziata’s squad keeping them at bay, especially with both sides favoring an attack-minded approach that could set the stage for an entertaining and goal-laden encounter.

Romania U21 team news
FCSB full-back Alexandru Pantea was forced to turn down a call-up for this summer’s EURO due to an injury he’s been dealing with since mid-February, opening the door for Matei Ilie to step in at right-back.
Romania U21 coach Daniel Pancu is only missing the previously mentioned full-back, and he’s tipped to stick with his tried-and-tested lineup from the qualification campaign.
