- Competition: EURO U19
- Date: Friday, 13th June 2025
- Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CEST
- Venue: Stadionul Arcul de Triumf (Bucharest)
Romania U19 played only two times in the EURO U19 and both times ended in the group phase. However, expectations are much higher this year, as Romania are hosting the tournament. Head coach Marin Ion and his squad are aiming for at least a semifinal appearance, hoping to capitalize on home advantage.
As tournament hosts, Romania U19 automatically qualified and did not compete in the regular qualification rounds. Instead, they spent the past year playing a series of friendly matches. The form is far from ideal, as Romania U19 won only one of their previous four games. In the last match, Marin Ion's team played 3-3 against Switzerland U19.
Montenegro U19 have been the surprise package of the qualification campaign, making an unexpected run through two challenging groups to secure their first-ever appearance at the UEFA U19 European Championship. On paper, they are considered the weakest team in the tournament, and advancing to the knockout stage would be yet another major upset.
Their most recent matches came in March when they topped a competitive qualifying group featuring Georgia U19, Poland U19, and Slovakia U19, an impressive achievement that showcased both their resilience and growing potential on the international stage.
Romania U19 vs Montenegro U19 pick: Romania U19 to win
Although Romania U19 didn't play well in the recent matches, they remain a solid team that will also have the advantage of playing on home soil. We should expect them to beat the Montenegro U19 team.

Romania U19 surely have big expectations for the upcoming tournament. A few days ago, the head coach, Marin Ion, said, "I proposed and said that the goal of this U19 team is a semifinal. They, the players, went further; they said we're playing the final. Let's win the group or finish 2nd and qualify further."
