- Competition: EURO U19 - Final
- Date: Thursday, 26th June 2025
- Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CEST
- Venue: Superbet Arena - Giulesti (Bucharest)
The UEFA U19 European Championship will conclude on Thursday with a highly anticipated final between Spain U19 and the Netherlands U19. Spain will be chasing their record-extending 13th title at this level, while the Netherlands aim to claim their first-ever U19 EURO trophy.
Spain U19 cruised through the group stage, winning all three matches with ease and without much drama. However, the semifinal brought a rollercoaster of emotions, as Paco Gallardo's side edged out Germany U19 in a wild 6-5 extra-time thriller. Winning in such a semifinal was huge, but recovering on time could be challenging.
It is surprising that the Netherlands U19 never won the title in the EURO for this age group, but they will have the opportunity to lift the trophy finally on Thursday night in Bucharest. The Netherlands U19 has had a dominant EURO so far. They won all four matches with margins of two or more goals. In the semifinal, Netherlands U19 won 3-1 against Romania U19. Peter van der Veen's team finished the game with an xG of 1.68, while the hosts had only 0.70, so the Netherlands U19 victory was well deserved.
Spain U19 vs Netherlands U19 pick: Over 3.5 goals
Both teams are impressive offensively. Both sides scored 12 goals in the tournament, excluding Spain U19's extra-time goals in the semifinal. We should expect four or more goals on Thursday night in Bucharest.

Netherlands U19 team news
Netherlands U19 won against Romania U19 in the semifinal, but the head coach, Peter van der Veen, sees an opportunity for improvement. He said, "I think the first 20 minutes were not so good; we were lacking the right formation in the build-up. At 20 or 25 minutes, the assistant coach said we needed to make a switch, and we did. We got control of the game, and after that, we got our goal."
