Czech Republic vs Germany: Euro U-21 Prediction (16.06.2025)

In the early hours of Monday, June 16 at 02:00 WIB, the Czech and German U-21 national teams will meet at MOL Aréna in Dunajská Streda for the second round of Group B at the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. In their opening matches, the Czechs lost 1-3 to England, while the Germans comfortably beat Slovenia 3-0.

Given these opening results, it’s no surprise that bookmakers strongly favor Germany in this matchup. A win for the German youth team is offered at odds of 1.43, a draw at 4.85, and a Czech victory at 6.70. Over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.58, indicating an expectation of a high-scoring game. Both teams to score is being offered at 1.75.

Czech Republic

Jan Suchopárek’s side played bravely and sharply in attack against England. However, they lacked finishing quality, and England’s goalkeeper made several key saves. Defensively, the Czech team struggled, unable to handle the pace of England’s forwards who easily broke through their packed backline.

It’s worth noting that the Czech team also conceded many goals during the Euro U-21 qualifying campaign. In eight matches, they let in 11 goals. It’s unlikely that these defensive issues will suddenly be fixed before their next game.

Germany

Antonio Di Salvo’s squad is used to dominating matches. In the qualifying round, they scored 35 goals in 10 games. In their Euro opener, Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade netted a hat-trick against Slovenia. The tall forward looked very confident at U-21 level, although he was less impactful in his two appearances for the senior national team in the UEFA Nations League.

Other notable attackers included Nicolo Tresoldi from Hannover and Brajan Gruda from Brighton, both of whom were very active up front. Overall, Germany’s attackers are a highlight of the group stage, as the team spends much of the game in offensive play.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

In the 2023 U-21 Euro, the Czech Republic beat Germany 2-1 in their group stage clash. Interestingly, neither team advanced from the group that year, and Germany only earned one point.

Prediction

The Czech U-21s didn’t look hopeless against England. They have attacking players who can create danger. Therefore, the recommended bet is “both teams to score – yes” at odds of 1.75.
