England -21 v Germany -21 Betting Tips [29 June 2023]

Germany U21 are at risk of losing their European crown, going into their final Group C game against England U21. With six points at the top, England have their quarters place secured while Germany are third with just a point. England had nervy moments on Match Day 1 but managed a 2-0 win over Czech U21. They would then easily beat Israel U21 to seal a place in the next round. Arsenal forward Emile Smith-Rowe has been in superb form for England with a goal in each of the two opening games. This run has also handed England U21 three wins with clean sheets in the last five games. They’ve only failed to score once in the last five matches but conceded twice in two of the five games.

Champions Germany U21 are faced with a ‘must win’ situation. They are coming from a 2-1 loss to Czech U21 having drawn with Israel on Match Day 1. Anything short of a win here will see Germany relinquish their title. A poor defensive run is to blame for their woes; they’ve managed just one clean sheet in the last eight matches. Meanwhile, Germany U21 have conceded twice in three of their last five matches. The loss to Czech was their first in five matches but they haven’t won in the last four either. They have one clean sheet in five Euro U21 matches, with just one loss in 11 matches in this competition.

Germany U21 have their backs against the ropes. They must win here to keep their title defence alive. Unfortunately they haven’t done well defensively and meet a side so strong. England U21 have done well in both defence and attack so far. Our prediction for England U21 v Germany U21 is for England to win.
